All land snails are hermaphrodites, producing both spermatozoa and ova. Some freshwater snails, such as apple snails, and marine species, such as periwinkles, have separate sexes; they are male and female. The age of sexual maturity is variable depending on species of snail, ranging from as little as 6 weeks to 5 years. Adverse environmental conditions may delay the onset of sexual maturity in some snails.
Prior to reproduction, most land snails perform a ritual courtship before mating. This may last anywhere between two and twelve hours. Prolific breeders, pulmonate land snails inseminate each other in pairs to internally fertilize their ova. Each brood may consist of up to 100 eggs.
Pulmonate land snails and slugs have a reproductive opening on one side of the body, near the front, through which the outer reproductive organs are extruded so that exchange of sperm can take place. After this, fertilization occurs and the eggs develop.
Garden snails bury their eggs in shallow topsoil primarily while the weather is warm and damp, usually 5 to 10 cm down, digging with their foot. Egg sizes differ between species, from a 3 mm diameter in the grove snail to a 6 mm diameter in the Giant African Land Snail. After 2 to 4 weeks of favorable weather, these eggs hatch and the young emerge. Snails may lay eggs as often as once a month.
Snails are hermaphrodites and so when they mate, they each fertilize eggs in the other, and and so both of them will deliver eggs.
Water snails lay their eggs either under the water in a gelatinous sac, or just above the water in a soft clutch of moist eggs.
Snail eggs are usually deposited in hidden places such as under a rock or log, or in hollow stumps. Some snails give birth to live young though.
they burry their eggs in 2 inch soil but if u don't have it it will leave but it can lay it on rocks
snail eggs hatch in a nest
When snails lay eggs they are acting out the natural process of reproduction.
It depends on the type of snail. Maybe 30 to 20 eggs depends on the tip of the snail. Snails that lay their eggs in aquarium's tend to give birth from 200 to 300 eggs. Snails can only lay 2 at a time. Hermaphroditic snails lay about 80 eggs 6 times a year. Most land snails lay 40 to 60 eggs (according to some authors even 100). Well that's all I know about how many eggs a snail lays a year! :)
yes
they live on beaches
they lay about 80 eggs up to 6 times a year
Snails don't give birth. They lay eggs.
pond snails are both girl and boy, so in order to lay eggs, they mate WITH THEIR SELVES and then they lay the eggs in a "jelly like mass" and in about three to four weeks, the eggs hatch
yes
before it dies
Nothing. Simply because there is no such thing as a male or female snail.All snails are hermaphrodites. Meaning all snails have both sexual organs and they both sperm and lay the eggs. The snails "stick" themselves together by their underbellies and both fertilise each other.
Japanese trapdoor snails give birth to live young.
Im pretty sure from my experience with slug eggs that snails don't lay eggs when they're unfertilized. They only lay if they've mated and the eggs are fertilized, otherwise (again I know this from slugs, not snails, I could be wrong) they wouldn't lay any in the first place.
