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.

There are over 50,000 known species of Mollusks, which makes them second only to the Arthropods in invertebrate phylum size. Among the Mollusks are some of the most well known of invertebrate sea creatures, like snails, clams, mussels, squid, and octopods.ollusks usually have a shell (although some do not). Mollusks also have an extension of the body wall called the mantle. This portion of the animal's anatomy is responsible for secreting the shell. The mantle encloses the mantle cavity which contains the Ctenidia (gills), anus and excretory pores.
