Hi guys!  I'm brand new at animation, so forgive my noob question.
Inserting the snail and applying the snail walk to him and that works. But if I drag another snail walk to him, he starts at the beginning position again.
I have tried positioning him and setting a keyframe, but he always goes back to his original position.
Any ideas?    Thanks in advance for your help.

Typically a motion will be broken down into 3 parts: Start (S), Loop (L), and End (E).
As an example: For a motion Walk, there should be 3 motion parts available named Walk S, Walk L, and Walk E.
You would string the motions together (in the expected order) for the desired length:  Walk S + Walk L + Walk L + Walk L + Walk E.

If your motion does not have the 3 parts then you will need to "blend" the 2 motions together so that the transition from the end of the first motion blends into the beginning of the second motion.
A link to blending motions is HERE.

Hope that helps.

In the Timeline, click the Motion tab.
Right click the 2nd motion and choose Align>Bone_1.

Thank you.  The bone alignment worked perfectly!
