White jade snails are hermaphroditic and mate with different sexes. When they are over eight months old and weigh about 40 grams, they become sexually mature. Most snails mate in pairs.

It starts to lay eggs about half a month after mating. It stops eating before laying and chooses a place to lay eggs. Under normal circumstances, it will bury its head in the breeding soil and lay eggs one by one. The shape of the white jade snail eggs is oval, milky white or light yellow, and shiny. Each species of snail lays eggs four times a year, and the number of eggs increases gradually, with an average of more than 150 eggs each time.

2. Living habits

The white jade snail is good at burrowing into the soil to live, hiding during the day and coming out at night. The main purpose is to absorb nutrients, organic matter, and calcium, regulate body water and temperature and humidity, prevent enemies, and lay eggs. Generally speaking, the white jade snail is very afraid of direct sunlight and is particularly sensitive to light. Its visibility in weak light is 6 to 7 centimeters, while its visibility in strong light is less than 1 centimeter. Therefore, the white jade snail usually comes out to move around and forage at night, and usually stays still during the day.

In addition: the white jade snail does not like to eat food with pungent smell, and the snail is most afraid of salt and salty food. The vitality of the white jade snail is particularly strong. Artificially cultivated snails can generally survive without water and food for two months.
