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.

Apple snails get to be softball size while mystery snails stay smaller. I have an apple snail and an ivory mystery snail, my ivory is a female and I just saw the apple snail mating with her. She has just previously laid two clutches of eggs from my blue mystery snail that has just recently died and the eggs have not hatched yet so I am curious to see if the apple snail will fertilize her or not. I have tried to do research to see if they can even breed or not and have not found anything useful.

How do sea animals reproduce?

The male trapdoor snail buys the female snail flowers and then takes her to a dinner in a movie. If he is charming and funny and not too slimey, he will then proceed to mate with the female snail. These snails give birth to live young. They are not as prolific at breeding as egg laying aquatic snails.


How does a chicken know its egg has been fertilized?

The broody hen does not know that her eggs are fertilized. Broody hens will sit on an unfertilized egg for months if allowed. They will even sit on golf balls. Most farms remove any eggs that have not hatched after 30 days if the hen insists on remaining on the eggs.

How many eggs do snails lay?

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! :)
