Let the snail crawl onto your hand by itself. Lift your hand, slowly. Lower the snail to a new surface.
The best way to pick your snail up is to let it crawl onto your hand on its own accord. This is by far the safest way for the snail to be carried. Picking a snail up by its shell or body may damage the shell or hurt the snail. Place your hand flat against the bottom of the snail's cage near the snail. Move your hand very slowly in the general direction of the snail. Let the snail crawl onto your hand. Once the snail has crawled onto your hand, you can slowly lift your hand out of its enclosure. Make sure to lift your hand slowly, as you don't want to scare the snail or potentially drop it. After you've lifted your hand out of the tank, move it slowly toward the surface of a table. Place your hand flat against the surface of the table and allow your snail to move around. Avoid shaking the table or moving your hand suddenly. After you've got the snail on your hand and have moved it out of the enclosure or somewhere else in the enclosure, lower your hand down and allow the snail to hop off your hand. This is important, as you'll want to give your snail the freedom to move as it pleases and to explore new areas. Lower your hand slowly. You can lower your hand to a new place in the enclosure. This is probably the best and safest bet. Consider creating a "playground" tank with new rocks, obstacles, and even snail treats (lettuce, cucumbers, and apples). Avoid lowering the snail onto the floor. If you do so, there is a chance you or someone else could step on it.
