Hello!
I have 5 clutches of snail eggs in my tank. One clutch, the first was laid probably the night before thanksgiving, when I was asleep for I woke up to find it. It's been 3 weeks (or if they were laid the day of thanksgiving, almost 3 weeks). I'm very excited! When should I start worrying about them not being fertile, or hatching? I've read that they hatch within 2-4 weeks, and at 5 weeks you can encourage them, by taking the eggs off the glass, and seeing if it's fertile or not by gently breaking it in half.
And yes, I have a male and female snail in the tank.
Thanks for help in advance!
