Snails are bisexuals. In spite of the fact that they have both male and female conceptive organs, they should mate with another snail of similar species previously they lay eggs. A few snails may go about as guys one season and as females the following. Different snails assume the two parts on the double and prepare each other at the same time. At the point when the snail is sufficiently vast and develop enough, which may take quite a while, mating happens in the pre-summer or late-spring following a few hours of romance. Some of the time there is a moment mating in summer. (In tropical atmospheres, mating may happen a few times each year. In a few atmospheres, snails mate around October and may mate a moment time 2 weeks after the fact.) After mating, the snail can store sperm got for up to a year, yet it for the most part lays eggs inside half a month. Snails are here and there uninterested in mating with another snail of similar species that began from an extensive separation away. For instance, a H. aspersa from southern France may dismiss a H. aspersa from northern France.
Helix pomatia
Snails require soil no less than 2 inches somewhere down in which to lay their eggs. For H. pomatia, the dirt ought to be no less than 3 inches profound to keep out vermin, for example, ants, earwigs, millipedes, and so on. Dry soil isn't reasonable for the planning of a home, nor is soil that is too substantial. In dirt soil that turns out to be hard, proliferation rates may diminish on the grounds that the snails can't cover their eggs and the hatchlings experience issues rising up out of the home. Hatchability of eggs relies upon soil temperature, soil dampness, soil sythesis, and so on. Soil comprising of 20% to 40% natural material is great. The dirt ought to be kept at 41 to 50 °F (5 to 10 °C), and is best around 70 °F (21 °C). Soil dampness ought to be kept up at 80%. One specialist expels eggs quickly after they are kept, checks them, at that point keeps them on clammy cotton until the point that the eggs bring forth and the youthful begin to eat. Snails lose significant weight by laying eggs. Some don't recoup. Around 33% of the snails will kick the bucket after the rearing season.
H. pomatia eggs measure around 3 mm in breadth and have a calcareous shell and a high yolk content. H. pomatia lays the eggs in July or August, 2 to two months in the wake of mating, in gaps uncovered in the ground. (Information shifts broadly on to what extent subsequent to mating snails lay eggs.) The snail puts its head into the gap or may slither in until just the highest point of the shell is noticeable; at that point it stores eggs from the genital opening simply behind the head. It takes the snail 1 to 2 days to lay 30 to 50 eggs. Once in a while, the snail will lay around twelve progressively fourteen days after the fact. The snail covers the gap with a blend of the ooze it discharges and soil. This sludge, which the snail discharges to enable it to slither and to help protect the dampness in its delicate body, is glycoprotein like eggwhite.

Completely created child H. pomatia snails incubate around 3 to a month after the eggs are laid, contingent upon temperature and moistness. Winged creatures, creepy crawlies, mice, amphibians and different predators take an overwhelming toll on the youthful snails. The snails eat and develop until the climate turns cool. They at that point burrow a profound opening, now and again as profound as 1-foot (30 cm), and seal themselves inside their shell and sleep for the winter. This is a reaction to both diminishing temperature and shorter hours of light. At the point when the ground warms up in spring, the snail rises and goes on a fling of supplanting lost dampness and eating.
Helix aspersa
H. aspersa eggs are white, circular, around 3 mm in distance across and are laid 5 days to 3 weeks in the wake of mating. (Information shifts broadly because of contrasts in atmosphere and territorial varieties in the snails' natural surroundings.) H. aspersa lays a normal of 85 eggs in a home that is 1 to 1½ inches profound. Information shifts from 30 to more than 120 eggs, however high figures might be from when in excess of one snail lays eggs in a similar home.
In warm, sodden atmospheres, H. aspersa may lay eggs as frequently as five times from February through October, contingent upon the climate and locale. Mating and egg-laying start when there are no less than 10 hours of light and proceed until the point when days start to get shorter. In the United States, longer hours of daylight that happen when temperatures are still excessively cool will influence this calendar, yet expanding hours of light still empower egg laying. In the event that sufficiently warm, the eggs incubate in around 2 weeks, or in a month if cooler. It takes the child snails a few more days to break out of the fixed home and move to the surface. In an atmosphere like southern California's, H. aspersa develops in around 2 years. In focal Italy, H. aspersa incubates and rises up out of the dirt only in the harvest time. In the event that all around sustained and not stuffed, those snails that bring forth toward the beginning of the season will achieve grown-up size and frame a lip at the edge of their shell by the next June. On the off chance that the earth is controlled to get all the more early hatchlings, the size and number of snails that develop the next year will increment. In South Africa, some H. aspersa develop in 10 months, and under perfect conditions in a research facility, some have developed in 6 to 8 months. The vast majority of H. aspersa's regenerative movement happens in the second year its can possibly imagine.

Achatina fulica
By differentiate, one goliath African snail, Achatina fulica, lays 100 to 400 circular eggs that each measure around 5 mm long. Each snail may lay a few clumps of eggs every year, normally in the wet season. They may lay eggs in gaps in the ground like H. pomatia, or lay eggs on the surface of a rough soil, in natural issue, or at the base of plants. In 10 to 30 days, the eggs bring forth discharging snails around 4 mm long. These snails grow up to 10 mm for each month. Following a half year, the Achatina fulica is around 35 mm long and may as of now be sexually develop. Sexual development takes 6 to 16 months, contingent upon climate and the accessibility of calcium. This snail lives 5 or 6 years, now and again upwards of 9 years.
Amazing publication, now we know whl snail mate and lay eggs..

Great techniques for snail delivering. Hmm infact you wrote an educative post, that have gone a long way in improving my thaught of snail farmng.
Thanks for this knowledge
Excellent brother, a new learning complementing knowledge, God bless you
