Snails

[prettyvacant]

Hi, i was wondering if anyone could help me with this question.... If any of you have snails, maybe you can help me. What is the easiest way to determine whether a snail is male or female? I was wondering, since i have a Gold Mystery Snail in my aquarium.
thanx

Check out http://www.applesnail.net/content/faq.php#4. I think "mystery" snails are really apple snails.

Aren't most snails both sexes?

Not mystery snails. I still couldn't figure out the sex of mine after going to that site. Plus, every time I pick mine up, they go back in their shells.

yes i know they are also apple snails... i was on that site the other day and it said alot about determining the sex, but it seemed difficult... didnt help me much... this is why i am asking if any of you know of a more obvious way?????????????? and no snails arent both sexes..

no snails arent both sexes..

Some snails are hermaphroditic and can produce offspring on their own.
