Too many Snails?

I have a 40 gallon established tank with a few guppies and a TON of snails. I want to get a group of pea puffers and I know they are big eaters. Will they just eat snails until they burst? Should I try to take some out?

There is a vid out there somewhere where a puffer burst from overfeeding. Some say it's not true. Unless the snails are tiny (the size of the puffer's eye), they will pretty much just bite at whatever flesh is exposed.

It's a mixture of trumpet and pond snails. And they're not tiny, most of them are medium sized
