generally for crabs, and most inverts, i will float the bag for about 10 mins, then add a cupful of my tanks water to the bag every 2-3 mins. i do this 2-3 times, then remove them from the water and drop them in the tank.
for snails, i will for them in the tank for about 10 mins. then remove them from the water. then i will put them in a dry dish for about 5 mins and let them dry out some. then i will manually place each snail just above the waterline in the tank. they will acclimate themselves, at their own pace. i have found this to be much more effective than dripping or any other acclimation method.
