August 28, 200620 yr comment_118236 How long since they laid? Are they bright red? Have you been to http://applesnail.net/ Its got alot of good info. Report
August 28, 200620 yr Author comment_118241 Thanks for the link They are bright red just like all the others I have seen, the first lot were laid 4 weeks ago, then again 2 weeks ago and then again last weekend. Nothing happens and I accidently squished one pulling it off after it being there for three weeks and it has guey red stuff inside.......YUK Report

August 28, 200620 yr comment_118270 watch the snails, cause if you have a pair, and they breed - the female and male will join and stay together for approx 1-2 days then the eggs will be laid. Report
August 28, 200620 yr Author comment_118283 Well they do that, they stick themselves together and I have seen it quite a few times, but I am unsure how long they do it for as they are in a tank with lots and lots of rocks and driftwood. I have seen them together for at least 2 or 3 hours but I have not really taken to much notice so could be longer :-? :-? Report
August 29, 200620 yr comment_118297 Hi Tammy, You should wait a while longer, it took my snail eggs 5 to 6 weeks to hatch during winter, must be the cold. Normally they would hatch 3 weeks. cesarz Report
August 29, 200620 yr Author comment_118315 Oh opps :oops: thanks for that cesarz!!! I didn't realise it even took 3weeks :oops: Fingers crossed they hatch at some stage then..... You just saved the remaining two cutches of eggs life Report
