Some one stepped on my snail and he is still a live what do you guys think i should do?
poor snail ive had him for 2 years.

If you think he's too far gone to save, drop him into ice water. The shock will probably kill him near-instantaneously. If you want to try to keep him going, just isolate him from any stressors (tank mates, bright lights, etc.), keep his water quality as prisitine as possible, and hope for the best.

He is a land snail i forgot to say that.

A long, long , long time ago , I kept land snails. My dog decided he should try eating one and it lost a good half of its shell. The shell can regrow over time, but needless to say its enviroment needs to be good.

I think I read somewhere that putting a cuttle fish in (that you'd feed to birds) would help give him nutriants to grow his shell back.

Thank you guys ill try the cuttle fish thing.

Land Snails - Are they the ones the size of a Tennis Ball?

No they're the ones that you find in gardens.
