How do snails make more snails?

Snails make baby snails by mating. If you want to know how they mate, keep reading. The younger male goes on top of the older female. Altho u cant c it, the male puts sum sort of thorn in the female's shell. That's how they make babies. They mite circle each other in a dance for 6 hrs.


How do you know if a snail is male or female?

You simply do not. There are no such thing as male and female snails.All snails are hermaphrodites.That means all snails have both male and female reproductive organs. They still need to mate with another snail in order to produce and lay eggs.Some amateur gardener groups will try to say that snails with a brown-striped shell are girls whereas white stripes are boys. This is false - they are actually two completely different species. Therefore "snail breeders" breeding these two are creating a hybrid or mixed-species.So the answer to your question is that you can not tell if a snail is male or female, because snails do not have male/female genders. They are all hermaphrodites.


Do female mystery snails always lay eggs?

Sort of: snails have both male and female sex parts, so when two snails mate, either or maybe even both can lay eggs. snails can mate with anyone, even their own children or brothers/sisters. Mine giant African land snail laid about 300 eggs, then died this morning.

Are water snails hermaphrodites?

No. All apple snails are single sex which means you need a male and a female to produce offspring. Often apple snails are mistaken for ramshorn snails which ARE hermaphrodites and can actually mate with themselves when there are no other snails present. The easy way to tell the difference (because it can be confusing) is by looking to see how many sets of tentacles are present. Apple Snails will have 2 pairs of tentacles one large set and one smaller set attached near it's mouth. (4 tentacles total). Ramshorn snails will only have one set of tentacles. (2 tentacles total) One other feature that apple snails have is a breathing siphon that sticks out just under the shell at the left side of the head. They have both a lung and gills which helps when things dry up a bit or oxygen levels in their habitat are very low. This siphon is hard to spot but doesn't exist on ramshorn snails, which only have gills.
