My question is. Where do the inside of the snails go? All there is is empty

Where do you think slugs come from? They are snails that have left their
shells.


Not exactly :-)) They are related but entirely different creatures. They also tend
to be carniverous from time to time and will consume their stricken comrades, but
typically their flesh is eaten by other garden predators - ground beetles, birds,
moles, etc.
