Its is called a siphon. The snails uses it to exchange gas from above the surface of the water without actually surfacing. This allows the snail to not be a target for predators.

How do you care for a pregnant snail?

The first thing to do once your water snail has given birth is FEED THE BABY SNAILS!!If the baby snails do not eat within the first 12 HOURS they will soon die.The next thing you should do is to separate the babies from the parents, THE PARENTS WILL EAT THE BABIES!Take really good care of your babies and they can live up to a few years.Also, ask your friends if they want a few snails, OR you could try to create a snail farm (see if you can make a new breed!) snails are really great pets and don't need much caring! Also something that's really important: DONT OVER FEED!!!Your snail will like goldfish flakey food (mine do!) or Hikari Algae Wafers are also tasty to them.Just remember show your snails lots of care!

There is no such thing as a male snail. Or a female snail for that matter.All snails are hermaphrodites. That means they have both sexual organs. Two snails mating will both sperm and lay the eggs.
