Okay, so I thought I had two female Mystery snails, a pretty golden and a magnificent blue one... Boy was I wrong! My Gold snail is a male, my blue a female... today i walked in on them doing "the dance". Now I might be receiving some fantastic little baby snails.

First question. Mystery snails lay eggs right?

Second question. Do I separate the eggs from the parents? If so, do I separate them while they're still eggs? How do I do this?

If not, do I separate them at all? I hear that the babies will climb into the adults shells and irritating them... any ideas?
 
Mystery snails lay eggs above the water line so you should probably lower the water so they can lay eggs. The eggs need to stay dry and I would leave them there!
