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.

∙ 8y ago"Snail" is, unfortunately, not a very specific definition. There are many, many different kinds of snails, so I can only speak in extremely general terms.
Most land snails are hermaphroditic; there is no such thing as a "female" or "male" snail. This is not necessarily true of sea snails, but you'd need to be more particular about which species you mean in order for us to answer the question.
