You could always try to find some safe nontoxic material and carefully try to patch it up. Some type of predator probably did it while trying to eat him.

More specifically they need calcium and protein I think calcium can be gotten from eggshells or stuff like calcium powder cuttlefish bones n blah blah also I think banana has protein in it yayyy snails I like them. Mine have escaped before and ended up on the ceiling


Oh also it looks like his body's exposed that could let him dry out very easily and lead to RIPP

I pet him almost 5-6 months. Ago almost 2 monts he clung to wall like everytime. I gave boiled carrot and place him to top of carrot. Next day carrot secreted a type of sticky water. While of this little snail still dint move and sadly covered by this water. And i cleaned her outer shell(not hole side). Since that day i everyweek water him. Maybe this sticky water closed his outside way?

I have seen people save snails with cracked shells before, albeit not to this extreme, some of them patched the hole with a clean piece of eggshell and a band-aid.
This one looks a little small to try that with.

Keep the humidity up, keep it clean, provide lots of calcium.

Put a patch on it.

I closed big part of hole with egg membrane and egg white. Do you have any extra advice?

I use egg membrane for close hole and i glued it with egg white not egg shell. I closed big part of hole. I cant did all of hole because snail is very little.
