A few species, including Helix pomatia create a normal mucus epiphragm for short periods of rest, but can also create a different, specialized solid hard epiphragm, prior to annual hibernation.

In certain species, such as Helix pomatia, this barrier is reinforced with calcium carbonate, and thus it superficially resembles an operculum, except that it has a tiny hole to allow some oxygen exchange.

Some snails may live longer, perhaps even 30 years or older in the case of the Roman snail The Roman Snail, 'Helix pomatia' but most live less than 8 years.
