A noxious weed is another term for an invasive plant species.
Slugs are hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs. When slugs mate, they exchange sperm with each other. After mating, each slug can fertilize its own eggs. Slugs lay eggs in clusters or capsules, often hidden in moist and sheltered areas like soil, under rocks, or in vegetation. The eggs hatch, and young slugs emerge from these capsules, completing their development outside the parent slug's body.
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!
The birds appear to spread the snails they have eaten via excrement, allowing the mollusks to travel much greater distances than they could crawling on their own
The Latin word for "slug" is limax (-acis, m. or f.).
There are many latinesque scientific names for particular species of slug, but these are too numerous to list here.
The answer "gliemzies" that can be found here and there on the Internet is incorrect, and appears to be purely an artifact of an earlier WikiAnswers answer. In fact this is a Latvian word, not a Latin one.
Some species of snail can reproduce alone because they are hermaphrodites IE. they posses both male and female reproductive organs.
they can change what sex they want to be and make babies.
Many types of snails are scavengers, and will eat fish food and any organic matter they find around the aquarium. However, many snails are herbivorous, and will ignore all food with the exception of plant matter. So it really depends on whether your snails are scavengers, predators, or herbivores.
The two tentacles that stick out are the eyes of the snail. The two lower and smaller tentacles on the sides of a snail are their feelers. Don't touch their tentacles and make the snail feel safe and secure in their habitat. Don't handle your snail/snails roughly and be sure that the things you do to the snail or to the habitat will be safe to the snail.
If you are wondering what a snails favourite food is the answer is lettuce. If you have a snail at home you could try feeding them different foods like rotten fruit and crunchy things like cucumber or apple.
The snail is right by Harry's Test. It's the shell next to it.
They dont grow them, they find them. When they are born, they have to find a small enough shell for them that is comfortable to wear. As snails get older and grow bigger, they have to find a new, bigger shell because they outgrew their old one.
Some snails are capable of eating other animals but very few are. Some catterpillars are venomous and can kill their enemy. So I'm sure that they can but are warned but their distinctive colors.
an invasive specie is an animal that is dangerous to an ecosystem. so a snail might be an invasive specie to one ecosystem, but to another, they may be part of the ecosystem.
No that is completely wrong a invasive species is a species that came to one place from another place and it doesn't belong Dont listen to that idiot it isn't an invasive species it's from North America and so no it is not. Now theres a real answer.
Mollusca is a phylum of animals, just as Chordata (our phylum) is. It's a group with wonderful variety, including animals that don't even have brains (clams and oysters), through those with very simple ones (snails and slugs) to creatures some scientists suspect are as smart as dogs or monkeys (cuttlefish and squid).
Hi =) It should usually depend if you take care of them probably I think around 2 - 3 years and maybe at least 15 years if your lucky =) I'm not sure if this helped but I hope it did =]
it eats algae and is eaten by blue herons
3 weeks on average. You can watch them develop in the egg sacs, and emerge when fully formed.
Though there are many aquatic species of slugs that can sting, I have yet to find a species of slug that is poisonous. The poison that people use to kill the slugs in their garden is actually what you should worry about as it is toxic to cats and dogs.
Snails are only scared of a human if they don't handle them right, i have 10 snails soon to be lots more and at first they were scared of me but as i handled them a little more they had gotten used to me and come out of their shell pretty much as soon as i pick them up! Thanks for your help and i hope it was helpful thanks for reading.
You can check it's ID.
I'm not aware of any reliable field test for age. Size is not simply a function of age contrary to popular opinion.
Some of the older salamanders I have seen have skin that looks "puffy", but that could be a condition not related to age.
