After the mating process commences, the snails wait about 20 minutes to have their child. This is a surprisingly short amount of time for a snail pregnancy. However, this is true because snails only live for about 2 days.
On their death bed, they give birth to a full grown baby snail, more commonly known as a snaillett, and that snail has to find a mate immediately after it was brought into the big blue sea. Then the cycle repeats.

Yes, true story,.....we have a dog and of course having three daughters they didn't want to go to the deck after dark to bring his food dish in. so it didn't take long for the slugs to make their way up a flight of out side steps to find the dogs food, by the time morning came they'd be all gone. And I'd be washing the residual slime from his bucket,..off and on for the last couple of years one slug would come up every night to see if the food dish had been left out,...if not the lone slug would go away if it was 4to 5 would be up the stairs eating. My husband took the dog on a camping trip for allmost 2 weeks,....guess what no slugs,....the dog came back and that very night they came up the stairs looking for his food,.....I believe that proves intelligents!

Can the tank be cleaned with snail eggs in it?
For a water snail You will need to do a weekly 20% water change or your snail will die of ammonia poisoning. Occasionally (once every month or so) vacuum the bottom to clean up the waste that the snail produces. Also feed it lettuce or apples or carrots (washed well in warm water) and remove the uneaten food in 24 hours. For a land snail no you will not if you have a dirt bottom. Also feed it the same veggies and remove the uneaten food after 48 hours. Feed both types of snails cuttle bone or eggshells for calcium to develop a healthy shell. Good luck!

How do snails avoid being eaten?
* It has something to do with the animal being able to sense the vibrations caused by the traffic on the road! Hence, keeps away! * Snails have an underbelly and they don't like roughness. Thus, that's why you will see them on the side of your house, on smooth surface and they also love to eat some of your plants. They prefer dampness and shady areas. I get them in my garden, off my house and the only reason they are on the road is because I put them there! * Because they see other animals get run over.
Most of them, yes. The poisonous ones, obviously not.
The ones you find on your driveway after it rains, yes.
The bright yellow ones you find at camp, no.
If you put your finger flat on the ground, it should just crawl up on to it. They're not harmful. (However, they do have 3,000 teeth. But they don't hurt. :))

Is a squid a bivalve or univalve?
Limpets are snails with a broadly conical shell which is not coiled, or appears not to be coiled. Limpets, theoretically are therefore a form of snail. All snails are known to be bivalves so i presume that limpets are also bivalves. I hope this answers your question ! This answer is totally wrong......
The correct one is:limpets are gastropods that contain one flat shell. They have one flat foot that lies under the body and this foot helps in digging.they are herbivores that feed on algae and plants and have a tongue like structure with rows of teeth that helps in digging. That's all i know.... I hope it is helpful to you..:) <3
