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.

∙ 12y agoThey are hermaphrodites, with both male and female sexual organs in the same body. When common garden snails (Helix aspersa) mate, a penis is extruded from the side of each head as the snails join together. They then share eggs and then go off and both lay a lot of eggs inside mud or on the ground.

How do sea animals reproduce?
The male trapdoor snail buys the female snail flowers and then takes her to a dinner in a movie. If he is charming and funny and not too slimey, he will then proceed to mate with the female snail. These snails give birth to live young. They are not as prolific at breeding as egg laying aquatic snails.
How do you know when aquarium snails are breeding?
depending on the kind of snails you have you will be able to find their eggs. APple snails and mystery snails will lay their eggs in big clusters just above the waterline. If you don't want to have more snails you can just remove the clusters of eggs. All other snails breed like crazy. You will be able to see their eggs on the glass or on ornaments or plants in your aquarium. They are more difficult to control. The eggs will appear to be a clear sort of film.
Are apple snails and mystery snails the same and will they mate with each other?
AnswerHey there, as far as i know they wont interbreed. All i have to say is make sure u have cover glasses coz those buggers can crawl out of ur tank pretty fast hahaha. :o) Catch mate.a shellApple snails and mystery snails are different. Apple snails get to be softball size while mystery snails stay smaller. I have an apple snail and an ivory mystery snail, my ivory is a female and I just saw the apple snail mating with her. She has just previously laid two clutches of eggs from my blue mystery snail that has just recently died and the eggs have not hatched yet so I am curious to see if the apple snail will fertilize her or not. I have tried to do research to see if they can even breed or not and have not found anything useful.

Can the blue mystery snail lay unfertile eggs?
I have raised blue mystery snails for a few years and I have never seen one lay eggs when they were the only snail in the tank. I have seen egg clutches that didn't hatch, but I attribute that to an issue of the environment and not the fertility of the eggs.
