What animal classification is a snail?

Answer 1

It is in the class of Gastropoda.

Snails are small, shelled creatures that roam this world. In their scientific classification, they fall under the Animalia kingdom, since they are animals.

Then for the class, snails belong to their own class, which is Gastropoda. That class includes snails and slugs, with about #85000# different species.
