Abstract
Snails have some preferences in the way they choose to inhabit and multiply in certain areas. Therefore, a study was conducted to study the microhabitats that influence snail diversity. A total of nine species of 581 snails were collected and examined comprising both terrestrial and freshwater species. The number of snails found in each habitat was significantly different across all locations except for the habitat of the living plant. The water that exists in the sampling areas was examined and only water pH was found to have a positive relationship with the number of snails, (r=0.573, P
