CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How snails lay eggs

1. How do snails lay eggs?

Snails are hermaphrodites, and they mate with each other. Both males and females lay eggs. Ten days after conception, both can lay eggs, and eight days later, the eggs can hatch into baby snails.

The eggs are milky white and about the size of rapeseed. When laying eggs, the snail will use its head to dig the soil, half burying itself in the soil, and lay the eggs in the soil about 1 cm. When they can hatch depends entirely on the temperature. At 28 degrees, they will hatch in about 5 days, and at 24 degrees, it will take about 10 days.

Snails do not have a specific spawning time. Egg laying is closely related to temperature! Each type of snail feeds differently. After all, only when they eat well can they lay eggs earlier. If they are edible snails, they can be raised as usual. If they are ornamental or rare snails, the food for each type is slightly different.

Growing environment:

Snails like to live in a dark, moist, loose and humus-rich environment. They hide during the day and come out at night. They are most afraid of direct sunlight and are sensitive to the environment. The most suitable environment is: temperature 16-30℃ (23-30℃, the fastest growth and development);

Air humidity is 60% to 90%; soil humidity is about 40%; pH is 5 to 7. When the temperature is below 15℃ and above 33℃, they will hibernate. If the temperature is below 5℃ or above 40℃, they may be frozen to death or heat-killed. However, each snail is different.

Snails like to burrow into loose humus soil to live, lay eggs, regulate body humidity and absorb some nutrients, which can last up to 12 hours. They are both omnivorous and partial eaters.

Snail laying eggs: Snails mainly reproduce through hermaphroditism and cross-fertilization. Snails are the most common molluscs on land and have high edible and medicinal value.

The most suitable environment for them is: temperature 16-30℃ (growth and development are fastest at 23-30℃); air humidity 60%-90%; breeding soil humidity about 40%; pH 5-7.

When the temperature is below 15℃ and above 33℃, they hibernate. When the temperature is below 5℃ or above 40℃, they may be frozen to death or heat-killed. However, each snail is different.

Snail growth characteristics:

1. Incubation period: refers to the period from the time the eggs are laid by the snail to the time they hatch.

2. Juvenile snail stage: Juvenile snail refers to the small snail stage within 30 days after hatching.

3. Adult stage: The snails are between 1 month and 6 months old. The snails at this age are called adult stages.

4. The middle period is when snails are in the process of growth and development (individual expansion) and reproductive growth (growth and development of sexual organs).

5. Breeding snail period: snails that have grown for more than 6 months.

Snails are hermaphrodites, mate with different sexes, and both males and females lay eggs. The snail itself is both the father and the mother. Two snails cooperate with each other, and both sides repeatedly stimulate each other's reproductive holes with their love arrows (penis). After intense stabbing movements, both sides insert their penises into each other's vagina and ejaculate. Ten days after conception, both sides can lay eggs, and eight days later, the eggs can hatch into small snails. The eggs are milky white and about the size of rapeseed. When laying eggs, the snail will use its head to dig the soil, bury itself half in the soil, lay eggs in the soil about 1 cm, and then cover it with loose soil. When it can hatch depends entirely on the temperature. At 28 degrees, it will come out in about 5 days, and at 24 degrees, it will take about 10 days. Snails do not have a specific egg-laying time, and egg-laying is closely related to temperature! Each snail has different food. After all, it can lay eggs earlier if it is well fed. If it is an edible snail, it can be raised according to the general breeding method. If it is an ornamental or rare snail, each type of food is different.

I wonder if you also have a hobby of raising snails? I have 17 species of snails now. We can exchange ideas when we have time. I hope my answer will satisfy you. Many people copy some information from the Internet, but mine is my own experience.

1. All snails are hermaphrodites, and the white jade snail is no exception. Their reproduction requires fertilization. During reproduction, two snails will repeatedly contact each other with their tentacles, their heads will be linked to each other, and their bodies will be connected in parallel, so that their reproductive cavities can touch each other. After contact, the genitals will reverse, and the penis will be inserted into the other's reproductive hole. This is the mating method of snails. The mating time of snails is relatively long, often mating for 2-3 hours, and some can even mate for about 4-5 hours.

2. After mating, the fertilized eggs of snails will be discharged from the body. They do not grow inside the mother's body, but are discharged directly from the body through the reproductive pores. They are usually placed in the moist soil underground or under leaves, so that the snails will slowly grow and develop inside the egg shells, and after a certain period of time, the young will break out of the shells;

3. Before laying eggs, snails will dig holes in the soil and burrow into the soil until they have finished laying eggs. Since it takes about 2 hours for snails to lay eggs, they must be given nutrition on a regular basis, otherwise they will easily die of exhaustion during egg laying. Snails are hermaphrodites and can lay eggs 7 times a year, with an average of about 200 eggs each time.

3. The shortest answer to how snails reproduce

When two snails meet, they touch each other with their tentacles, then face each other with their heads, connect their bodies, and connect their reproductive cavities. After a short pause, the reproductive parts suddenly reverse and insert their love arrows into each other's reproductive holes. Generally speaking, the mating time of snails is very long, and each mating takes about 2-3 hours, sometimes up to 4 hours. After mating, the fertilized eggs are produced outside the body through the reproductive holes. The eggs are laid in the soil several millimeters deep underground or under rotten wood and fallen leaves. The snail larvae develop in the egg shells, and the hatched larvae have become snails. 1. Snails are hermaphrodites, and they mate with different bodies. Both males and females lay eggs. The snail itself is both the father and the mother. The two snails cooperate with each other, and both sides repeatedly stimulate each other's reproductive holes with their love arrows (penis). After intense piercing movements, both penises are inserted into each other's vagina and ejaculate. Ten days after conception, both sides can lay eggs, and eight days later, the eggs can hatch into small snails. 2. The mating time is long, the egg laying speed is slow, and the difficulty is high. The mating time of estrus snails is as long as 2 to 3 hours each time, and some can last for more than 6 hours. Snails can lay 2 eggs per minute, and each egg laying time is as long as 1 to 2 hours, and some can last for more than 3 hours. During the egg laying process, snails often die due to poor feeding, lack of nutrition, exhaustion and dystocia. Some die due to dystocia, accounting for about 30% of the total number of snails.
