what is the average lifespan of a snail?

It depends on the species. Large apple snails can live over 10 years. Small pond, ramshorn, trumpet, etc. snails may live 3-6 years but most die before that when they are eaten or due to poor water quality or something else. Trapdoor snails may live 5-10 years. The average run-of-the-mill small aquarium snail is lucky to live a few years with all the predators and dangers in the average tank. But, really there is no definitive answer to your question. I don't know that anyone's done real studies on this. It's just word of mouth as to how long someone's snail may have lived.

Some live for up to a year while others live only a couple of weeks!

Snails move by alternating body contractions with stretching, with a proverbially low speed (1 mm/s is a typical speed for adult helix lucorum. They produce mucus in order to aid locomotion by reducing friction. The mucus also reduces the snail's risk of injury making them to crawl over razor blades without injury.♥

It really all depends on the species of snake, like some anacondas have lived for 20+ years.

With everyday use, on average, they last 3-5 years.  BTW, it doesn't matter how much you write to a hard drive, it's never the write head that wears out.  It's almost always the bearings (in the motor) that wears out.

Starfish (or as they are known by in the Marine Community "Sea Stars") have been known to live 8 years in aquariums, but the actual life span isn't know.\n\nHere is more about Sea Stars:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfish

the life span of the print head depends upon the level of usage and maintenance.   If you don't use the printer often, or let it sit for a few months unused the print head will dry out.     If you are a heavy user who performs regular maintenance and only uses canon original cartridges your life span can be years.  I am still on my original print head on an s520 I purchased 6 years ago.  I print anywhere from 40-500 pages per week.

two snails (most are hermaphroditic, not you do not need to figure out sexes, each is both). \nhigh humidity (though don't drown them)\nsome soil to bury the eggs in\n\nand it probably has to be the right time of year (correct temperature, light cycle). \n\nFind out what species you have and look up on google if you can find something about specific requirements for the reproduction of your particular snails

a pig lifespan is about 15

I don't think they live long enough to get cancer, the average house fly only lives for 17 days, but who knows? maybe they do, I just don't think anyone out there is doing any studies on it

Snails are not like a hermit crab, which can go from one shell to another. I'm sorry to say that your snail friend may not be OK, after being dropped. I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it here. The only two options I see are these; release the snail back into nature and let it live out it's life free, or introduce your daughter to escargot.\nBest of luck in your cause here.

Red Blood Cells have an average life span of 120 days.\n\nsorry that I couldn't find more... but I hope that helps at least a small bit...

I'm not sure if its the same, but there was a study a while ago that more than doubled rats lives. It involved feeding half of the normal daily requirements every other day. So one day they would get nothing, the next day they would get half the usual amount(a quarter over both days). I think the rats lived to at least 8 years old compared to 2-3. The rats were a lot less active than normal, they slept a lot more and hardly moved when awake, sort of like a semi-hibernation.\nI'm not sure what to think of this. I have pet rats and know how food orientated they are. On one hand I would love my babies to live for a lot longer, but on the other I want them to have a happy life, even if it is short.

Squirrels in captivity have lived to be twenty years old.   Most Gray squirrels will die before their first birthday.If they survive their first year,  they should live five or six more years
