Just to clear up what Jon and I were talking about in the video when he mentioned the sex of the snails….
Some snails are hermaphrodites and don’t need a mate to reproduce. But Mystery Snails (the snails in my video) are either male or female and need a mate to reproduce.
I know the sex of my snails Pearl and Socrates because I saw them mating and Pearl left the tank to lay her eggs. Luckily I found her and put her back in the tank.
Look up hermaphrodite snails – a mate is needed, just that both can supply either reproductive material.
It’s true that some hermaphrodite snails do need a mate to reproduce ET, but there are some that don’t it’s called asexual reproduction.
