Not sure if this has been asked before but has anyone noticed that the adults always seem to be pregnant. As soon as my adults have laid eggs they seem to have eggs inside within a couple of days. It's wierd. The snail in question laid 6 eggs a couple of days ago and I have noticed more inside the shell.

mabye they store more sperm than needed to produce on lot of eggs, so they can keep refertilising over and over?

Wow, loads of babeis due then. They are funny little slimers. The babies are so small. The 6 eggs laid a few days ago have hatched that makes my baby total to 13. Luckily the sub adult hasn't started laying yet but he's got eggs inside him.
;D
