Caryl Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Some lay eggs above the water line. Depends on the type of snail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Sounds like you have an Apple Snail, they do that. Most common water snails do it underwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bart687 Posted November 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Sounds like you have an Apple Snail, they do that. Most common water snails do it underwater, These are the golden shell snails (tropical) not the long cone snails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuba Sam Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 One of my cats eats apple snails - well he tries. So far just a tooth hole. He hooks them out the gap in the glass with his paw then tries to crunch them. He has a big mouth... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart687 Posted November 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 I would like thank everyone as the petshop or library had no books or knowledge so a special thanks to carol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart687 Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Is it common for the snails to eat their eggs? as they layed probably (guessing) 120 eggs all in differnt places, as a week went past the eggs either dissapered or dropped into the water. The Web-Site that you privided Carol was great but if their's anybody out there that has had this happen could they help as they are still breeding. And yes they are not staving.
