apple snails are single sex snails

Incorrect. Many snails are hermaphrodites but apple snails are not. They are indeed male and female apple snails. Go to http://applesnail.net/ for more information and how to sex them.

Most snails are hermaphrodites (both male and female). Usually during mating the larger snail will be the female and the smaller one will be the male. If both snails are the same size it is quite likely that they will both carry eggs. But a common snail in the aquarium trade is the apple snail. It is either male or female. Refer to the picture in the link for a diagram of a male and female specimen of this species.
