Yes, take a 20oz pop bottle. Cut the top off where it meets the label of the bottle. Take the top and turn it upside down inside the bottle. Now they can get in without a problem, but it's harder for them to get back out.
Just be careful if you have shrimp in or fish in your tank cause if they get in the bottle they may die without the water circulating. In which case, you can just poke holes all the way around the bottle to allow water to circulate better.

Get a jar, make a hole in the lid just big enough for the snails to go in, put something yummy in it and put it in your tank. Check in the morning an wa la! Snails in a jar.
i think the idea is to keep them alive. and i know what your talking about. my LFS has them too, they almost look like they are made out of porcelain.
