Snails are hermaphrodites - meaning they have both male and female parts. They mate in a kind of 69 type position and then lay eggs that look a bit like mini cod liver oil capsules.

How Do Snails Have Babies
2016-10-21 12:38:42 · answer #2 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋
All land snails are hermaphrodites, producing both spermatozoa and ova. Others, such as Apple Snails, are either male or female. Prolific breeders, snails inseminate each other in pairs to internally fertilize their ova. Each brood may consist of up to 100 eggs.
Snails have small slits on their necks where fertilisation occurs and the eggs develop.
Garden snails bury their eggs in shallow topsoil primarily while the weather is warm and damp. After 2 to 4 weeks of favorable weather, these eggs hatch and the young emerge. Snails may lay eggs as often as once a month.

Snails are hermaphrodite (bisexual). Courtship begins with the two animals pressing their bodies together, rocking backwards and forwards and carressing each other with their tentacles. Then each snail pushes a calcareous dart, about 7mm long, into the foot of the other snail, this triggers the exchange of sperm. After mating the snails separate and lay eggs in small batches in the soil or under stones or logs. The eggs are round and whitish and hatch into miniature snails after about 3 or 4 weeks. The parent snails, of most snail types, usually die after they have finished laying their eggs.

They lay eggs. Baby snails come out of eggs. Snails are both genders at the same time and as such the baby snails are not boys or girls but both.

Well , when a lady snail loves a male snail very much they have a special hug and she lays some eggs which hatch into itty bitty snails.

They lay eggs which are tiny and opaque, like fish eggs.
