In their time frame, autogenerated hydroplaning.
Actually, voting for #25.

Why not sliding?

@Grad Student,

At the rate snails go, maybe ’snoozing’ gets the idea across if you accept artistic license? But mainly I just like combining Snail and Oozing.

I thought it was generally recognized that snails pace.

I’d like snails to usurp please.

Hopping! Snails only have one foot, right?

“What do you call snail locomotion?”

Escargoting.

It is called pseudoplodding. Maybe their shells look like bobbie’s helmets?

We call it oozing.

If it’s on garden plants, though, it’s more properly called “Looking for trouble.”

What, no portmanteaus?

Snawling?
Slailing?

In fact, slugs also move in a similar fashion. So…

Sluwling?
Moggling?
Gooing?

over to you…
