Mystery snail laying eggs.

[Guppysnail]

It took a long time before I was able to catch my mystery snails in the act of laying eggs. For the first time.  Did a spot check last night and seen it so videoed it for anyone who has not seen it yet. Very cool to watch eggs slide down the foot

Very cool! I haven't seen mine lay yet. A few times I thought she might be getting ready but then one of the boys would come bother her.

@Katherine I usually catch mine shortly after lights out or just as the faintest hints of sun start to show on the horizon. I can always tell because they clean the spot out of the water that day or the day before. I guess they don’t want to decide on a hospital after they are already in labor 🤷‍♀️

What interesting creatures!  Thanks for sharing!  I saw York getting puffy a few times above the water line, and I thought she was getting ready to lay eggs. Her demeanor and her appearance changed, but then she, for some reason, decided not to do it (with me there).

I catch mine laying all the time but then again I'm nocturnal and awake at the time periods where they do it lol. It's how i can tell which female has laid what.
