Solstice_Lacer Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Blue seems to be riding Goldie. From what I read this might be mating? Any thoughts/opinions are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Yep. It does indeed appear so. If they are attached by their parts. One way to see sex without doing anything TO the snails is when they are making their "cartoon faces" you can see their sex organs, they attach on the left sides as you can see. My male Mystery Snail Pegasus and female Mystery Snail Escape' (RIP) are demonstrating here for you. Edited November 11, 2021 by xXInkedPhoenixX to clarify 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstice_Lacer Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 This is an unexpected but generally pleasant surprise assuming my lfs wants babies (if they lay eggs that hatch). I even predicted my snails genders correctly by accident if this is the case. I've read blue x gold = some jade babies hopefully. If that's the case I will probably keep at least one. I need to read up more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Confirm with your LFS before you let anyone hatch or you'll be stuck with a bajillion babies. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solstice_Lacer Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 It will be an exciting project keeping up with them if successful. Must be something in my water lately, inverts love to reproduce in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 If it's a green light good luck! @Guppysnail is right they're uber cute. I got only 1 baby by accident and it was fun to watch her grow up. They grow up so fast. 😠1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I have removed all the clutches of eggs I've seen but I must have missed an egg or two because I saw someone that looked suspicously like a baby mystery snail just this morning. My snail is gold and the Maybe Mystery Baby was white. Wondering how soon their color shows up if they are going to be a color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 @Solstice_Lacer; snails are asexual, each snail has both male and female sex organs contained in that shell, which means they don't need a sex partner and can over-run an aquarium rather quickly.
