I have a snail clutch, my very first one * Dancing around house like a fool*
I had just finished talking to my friend who had shipped them to me and told her I was now able to see the difference between males and females and that I have searched everyday for a clutch, she was telling me to be patient they are still young ...... but I went to feed me fish shortly after that conversation, opened the lid and bang there was the clutch on the underside of the lid ...... Woo Hoo !!!!!!
It may not be fertile this time so I have to wait a week or so to see but at least I know they are becoming of age   |

Hi Stuart
They are Applesnails (Briggs) and they need a male and female to reproduce unlike pond snails or ramshorn snails that need no help LOL.
I have pictures of them in this section if you want to see them  |

| Now I have 12 clutches and one has even hatched, I have some lightfoots and darkfoots but I can't tell what colors they are yet, guess I just have to wait a bit longer but I suspect they are Ivories and Striped Purples |
