ABSTRACT
I checked experimentally how a short-time exposure to different temperatures: 1 °C, 24 °C and 34 °C in a high humidity affects wakening time of Vertigo antivertigo (Draparnaud). The snails were exposed to experimental conditions for 48 hours (each snail in a separate test tube, provided with food and a source of calcium). After that time, all the individuals were transferred to room temperature (24 °C) for counting the time needed for wakening. The shortest wakening time was noted for snails kept at 1 °C, the longest – for snails kept at room temperature of 24 °C.
