To breed garden snails you will need a good environment

-bowl or tank about a foot long and a foot high

-food: lettuce, cucumber or carrots (anything from a salad :) )

-a source of calcium is important for the shells to remain strong, so provide a cuttlefish, chalk or boiled egg shell.

-snails will go into a sort of hibernation if they don't have a source of water, so make sure to keep their environment moist.

-it's also very important for your snail tank to have at least 8 inches of soil for their eggs to be laid.

-snails are hermaphrodites so you can just find any two and breed them, as long as they are the same species

  • the snails will fertilize each other

-after a period of 1-2 weeks the eggs will be laid about three inches under the soil.

-eggs hatch in about a week

How do snails interact with humans?

Snails eat from our vegetable gardens. In return we poison them, or, sometimes we rear them and eat them cooked in garlic and garnished with a squeeze of lemon (escargots!). I breed them. They are very social animals. I would never kill them. I never have. I breed them to keep their population up.

How do snail reproduce?

Most snails are hermaphrodites. This means that they are both male and female. All hermaphroditic snails can lay eggs. They can "mate" with themselves and thus only one can reproduce in an aquarium or pond. They also breed sexually as often as possible. Most snails lay eggs but some, like the trapdoor snail, give live birth. Trapdoor snails and a few other species of snails (apple, golden inca, four horned, etc.) are not hermaphrodites. They can only reproduce sexually.
