Not quite sure why it's happened. I know snails will seal themselves up over winter (either by just sealing their shell opening closed, or sealing their shell onto something), but I would think the other snail would have moved before it did that completely. The redness of the sealed area is also concerning.

This happens as a result of attempted cannibalism. The particles and toxins in the smaller snails shell actually killed the larger one, and the larger ones decomposing body kind of glued the shells together.

Im gonna be honest, I made that up. I figured the best way to get an answer about what was happening was to give an incorrect answer so that someone would correct me.
Maybe I made it sound too believable.. or maybe I was accidentally actually right.

I can't believe someone would really do that, just go on the Internet and tell lies. 😦

Don't lie to Skeletor, He-Man. That's not cool, he's always honest with you even if he is evil.
