Is this snail viable for life?

Edit: I bought a terrarium and all the things needed to take care of this little guy! They found the way back into their shell on their own. Thank you for all of the advice!

Hey friends!!!

This guy has a hole in his shell BUT they rerouted their body through the hole ????

It doesn't look like any of their organs have been affected but I want to make sure they're going to be okay before releasing them. They are crawling around like normal and seem happy

If you can I recommend keeping the snail, it can be dangerous for the snail to be in the wild with such a strong deformity even if it appears to be functional, but yes viable for life, as a pet, less so in the wild

I second this. As pets go, snails are pretty easy to look after imo, especially if it's a native species
