They are hermaphroditic and you will have hundreds in a matter of a months time. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames |

If they're ones that came in on plants they're likely to be pest snails although my first snails were Malaysian Trumpet snails which I just simply love  . They wont eat plants and keep the substrate loosened similar to earthworms in dirt. All you need to do is provide a bit of extra food  .^_^[hr width='40%'] The life, the love, You die to heal.
