On the second day, the snail kite ate 3 + 2 = <<3+2=5>>5 apple snails.

On the third day, the snail kite ate 5 + 2 = <<5+2=7>>7 apple snails.

On the fourth day, the snail kite ate 7 + 2 = <<7+2=9>>9 apple snails.

On the fifth day, the snail kite ate 9 + 2 = <<9+2=11>>11 apple snails.

The snail kite ate a total of 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 = <<3+5+7+9+11=35>>35 apple snails in 5

days.
