Be careful where you step

When I swapped my HOB for a canister on the 36BF (Mostly due to noise) it left a gap in the cover.  There are 10 mystery snails in there that I hatched from another tank.   A few days ago I found one on the floor in front of the tank (the opening is on the back) that I just about stepped on.  I thought for sure it was dead but i dropped it in the 10 that is full of shrimp.  2 days later there were 2 clutches of eggs on the lib that I am now trying to hatch out.  If I had stepped on the poor girl she would be gone and I wouldn't have all these eggs.   My guess is she crawled out looking for a place to lay eggs and fell off although how she got from the back to the front I have no idea. At any rate watch where you step if you have big snails that can crawl out.  I am going to fill the hole as well to keep the other 9 inside.  Can;t wait for the eggs to hatch.   This will be my first set of second generation.
