Typically yes! It's a survival technique. Snails normally lay their eggs in the dark. To help encourage laying you can drape the aquarium with a towel or blanket.
Snails are nocturnal, so are more active in the dark, but do not need to be in the dark.
reproduce and do snail slime stuff
Snails are more active in the dark because at night, it is cooler at night than in the daytime. Snails have to stay moist to survive.
Yes. Most land snails live in dark, moist places.
Snails are hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs. They can reproduce with any other snail, regardless of gender.
Snails reproduce sexually by mating with another snail and exchanging sperm to fertilize eggs. Some snails are hermaphrodites, meaning they possess both male and female reproductive organs and can fertilize each other's eggs.
Yes, some species of snails can reproduce with only one snail present.
Snails are dark brown. :)
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.
Snails prefer dark conditions as they are nocturnal creatures. Exposure to bright light can stress them and lead to dehydration. Providing them with places to retreat to in the dark will help keep them comfortable and healthy.
Scientists refer to aquatic-snails nests appearing bubble-shaped or similar to a cocoon where pairs of snails reproduce every 6 days or few weeks.
Sometimes they are brown. Sometimes they can be a green-ish color too.
