Talking I'm so happy, I got a snail!

Like I said I'm really happy, and excited and all that good stuff. I'm not usually gushy but this is somthing special. I finally got a snail!! (BTW, I can hear all of you out there saying "It's about time. Lol) He, or she I haven't chcked yet, is a really pretty, black brig mystery snail. I named him (I may as well call it a him) Jet and he really lives up to his name. All day I see him just crusing along the glass and plants eating like a madman. I gave him a piece of lettuce but he dosen't seem want it (I'm very surprised, snails adore lettuce!) He and my betta are best friends too, they like to sit side by side.
I do have a question though, sometimes Jet just floats in the water colum directly under the filter out-take. (I have a power filter, in case you were wondering.) Is this normal for a snail to do? I thought he might have a bubble under his shell, my friend Annie says he's scared and my Mom says he's just playing, anyone have any idea what he's doing?
