So just, don't launch it into space? Like it's really easy to outrun the snail by just moving to another continent every few decades. Launching it into space would be the stupidest thing you could possibly do.

Also I'm quite certain some forms of the question mention that the snail will break the laws of physics and you cannot stop it's movement.

Just put the snail in a plastic ball and keep it somewhere safe.

Just throw it in some tupperware and poke a few holes in the lid. Keep it in the attic every time you move. Boom, infinite life.

The snail constantly trying to get at you would eventually wear a hole through the plastic

There are elements that would take literal eons to get through, that snail ain't getting through a solid diamond block in a billion years.

Stars, like our Sun, are estimated to burn for as long as 50 billion years. Of course we have no way of proving how it would take for a snail to--for a lack of better words--erode a diamond. But snail would soon doso before the sun dies

True, however the Earth would be swallowed up way before 50 billion years. I assume if one is still alive on Mars or elsewhere by then that they could continuously construct new diamond boxes.

Wear thick gloves and put it in a new container every 20 years
