BlueLineAquaticsSC Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 How can you tell if a mystery snail egg clutch is fertile or not? I have a single snail that’s laid 3 so far but none have hatched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Pull them to an incubator. If the snail is laying that many large ones there is a very good chance they are fertile. Be patient and keep them warm -minimum 75 degrees. 77-78 better and humid. That looks like grate and not a tight glass lid. If they are not warm and humid enough the will not develop and hatch. Many YouTubers make snail egg incubators. Very easy Tupperware or ziploc containers and paper towels. They will show you step by step. Rachael O’Leary does two one incubator and one hatch. I like hers. Good luck and keep us posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Another thing about having grate vs. solid lid is that your tank heater has to work harder to stay @ temp. Costs more $ to run and shortens the heater's life. I believe I learned that in a video Cory posted.
