In my senior science class we disected a snail to remove & exam its Radula, or "toothy tongue". It's like a little sawblade that rips up stuff it
eats.
I think you have a joker of a neighbor who sneeks into your yard and impales your snails just to mess with you..

Our (then) 2 year old son approaches "Mom" with his hand extended, palm side up and says "Nail".
Mom said "Sorry, that's not a snail."
Yes it is, I peeled him!!

Bronco, Looks like the work of a Shrike AKA "Butcher Bird". Or, somebody is
messing with you.

What kind of names do snail owners give their racing snails? I can't even think of one.

I once watched a roadrunner outside my window take snails and repeatedly pick them up the throw them down on the concrete walkway to relieve them of
their shells before eating them. It bashed about 6 of them and left the mess for me to clean up.

I was thinking of something more racy, like Man of War or Seattle Slough.

... and hot off the slime press....
Some kid in Utah found his 5 minutes of fame in the Guiness Records
by putting 43 snails on his face at one time.
Those of you who may be ready for dinner.... be glad I don't know how to hyper-link a video.
