Typically yes! It's a survival technique. Snails normally lay their eggs in the dark. To help encourage laying you can drape the aquarium with a towel or blanket.

Do snails like the dark why?
Snails are more active in the dark because at night, it is cooler at night than in the daytime. Snails have to stay moist to survive.
Do snails like really dark places?
Yes. Most land snails live in dark, moist places.
Do snails prefer light or dark conditions?
Dark and damp
Do snails reproduce sexually or asexually?
Both, though mass asexual reproduction in snails is uncommon. Mainly because of the genetic disadvantages. An example of this is in the asexually reproduced offspring of the species Potamopyrgus antipodarum which have a higher rate of disorders and mutation. thus natural selection removes most of them.
Can snails be born with one snail not a mother AND father?
Yes, some species of snails can reproduce with only one snail present.
What is the colour of snail?
Snails are dark brown. :)
How do snail reproduce?
Most snails are hermaphrodites. This means that they are both male and female. All hermaphroditic snails can lay eggs. They can "mate" with themselves and thus only one can reproduce in an aquarium or pond. They also breed sexually as often as possible. Most snails lay eggs but some, like the trapdoor snail, give live birth. Trapdoor snails and a few other species of snails (apple, golden inca, four horned, etc.) are not hermaphrodites. They can only reproduce sexually.
How do Aquatic-snails nests look like?
Scientists refer to aquatic-snails nests appearing bubble-shaped or similar to a cocoon where pairs of snails reproduce every 6 days or few weeks.
How do snails have baby's?
Most snails lay eggs, but some are live-bearing snails, such as the Malaysian Trumpet Snail. Most snail species are hermaphroditic, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs. However, apple snails are one of the few exceptions to this rule. Snails typically reproduce sexually, although some species have been known to reproduce asexually.
What colors are snails?
Sometimes they are brown. Sometimes they can be a green-ish color too.
