Can apple snails that are lying upside down on the gravel right themselves?

Question

My apple snail is often found lying upside down on the back of its shell. Do they have the strength to turn themselves over or do they need to be assisted all the time? It's hard to tell if it needs help or if it is just sleeping. That handy site http://www.applesnail.net doesn't seem to talk about the helplessness of these creatures. I am wondering if anybody else has had the same experience.

Answer 1

Answer 2

That's weird,maybe it has a bubble of some kind trapped in it's shell.
