floating snail

[bassguy]

It's still alive, and has been floating for a week? I've shaken it to try to get the air out and he still floats. It's a large snail I would like to keep alive. What gives?

what species of snail is it? i know my apple snail likes floating at times, but normally only for about 5 - 10 min max before they disperse their air and drop back down to the bottom of the tank...

Although some times after dropping to the bottom, my snail climbs right back up the side and starts floating around just to constantly repeat this action...

It was called a white mystery at the lfs. He doesn't look like he is having fun spinning in circles, allthough I laugh at the poor booger.
