ivory snail? apple snail right? they're not asexual, there are male and female ones.
lift out your snail, have look and see if it's "lid" is loose, and if the snail STINKS to high heaven and makes you feel ill, then it's dead! dead snails really really honk, thats the sure fire way to tell if one is dead or not!

Sometimes snails just stay in one place for awhile, can you see if it has drawn back into its shell? If it has that may mean it is dead, or it may mean it got frightend by something. Don't give up on waiting to see just yet, wait a little while longer.
