Yes you can. But you have to make sure the water or the wet condition is not too extreme.
Snail’s major habitat is the soil, and soil contains some of the components and chemical substances that it needed to survive.
However, not all soils are suitable for snail rearing. The shell of the snail is mainly calcium which it derives most of it from the soil.
Snail also lay its eggs on the soil and drinks water out of the soil. Hence, the suitable soil for snail farming must contain these elements. It must be balanced, not waterlogged, not too dry, and must not be acidic.
The most desirable soil for snail is sandy-loamy soil with low water holding capacity.
