So, for the last year or so, I've had 2 large mystery snails, a gold female and a brown/black male.
I ended up receiving a purple mystery snail as a teeny tiny baby and it since has grown to the same massive size...
Sadly, I lost my gold female due to a fall and broken shell... I was devastated...
But she laid many clutches and so I have about 15 or so little babies now growing in a tank.
But still have the original brown/black male and the purple one who is now just as big..
And the crazy thing is I just caught the purple one riding the black one and his entire 'male part' was out and was inside my other ALSO MALE black snail!!
How is this possible?!
Is he trying to show dominance?
Or are they actually engaging in 'business'??
Is that even possible?!?
I am sooo confused!!
And I am ABSOLUTELY 10000000% POSITIVE THEY ARE BOTH IN FACT MALES.
can anyone help explain to me what is going on?!
And secondly, should I separate them??
I know this all sounds funny. But I am truly at a loss with this one...
Thank you for any help or advice!
