Typical costs: 1  Replacing aging, leaking or inadequate ductwork typically costs about $35-$55 a linear foot for labor and materials, or $1,000-$5,000 or more for a single-family home, depending on the length and type of ducts used (sheet metal, fiberduct or round flexible ductwork) and local rates.
Not Veterinary Advice: No. A snail is not meant to shed or molt its shell and snails normally will not shed their shells. However, it can happen by accident, which usually leads to the snail dying.It's thought to be possible that some snails could live without their shells, until they form a new one, but this is considered unlikely.Snails are unable to reattach to their shells if they become separated, but it may still be possible for them to use the shell as shelter temporarily.owever, it can happen by accident, which usually leads to the snail dying.

Not all mollusks have shells. Mollusks are a group of soft-bodied animals that includes snails, scallops, clams, and sea slugs. Most mollusks have shells: univalves, like snails, have one shell; bivalves, like clams, have two. Some mollusks, such as the squid and octopus, have lost their shells during their evolution. With 41% of the 736 documented extinctions of all animal species, the number of mollusks exceeds that of any other major taxonomic group 3. 2  Most documented endangered mollusk species are non marine (they live in freshwater or terrestrial environments) 5.
