Red poo in snails after consuming tomatoes is likely due to the natural pigments in the fruit, particularly lycopene, which gives tomatoes their red color. Snails have a different digestive process, so the pigments may not be fully broken down. As a result, the color can pass through their system and appear in their waste. This is generally harmless, but if you notice other unusual symptoms, it may be worth consulting a vet.
