Apple Snail

[rshxt9]

So, here's a bunch of pics of my snail and a nice little walk through on sexing.
Step One. Take snail out of water and hold up side down...

Step Two. Wait....for what seems like a really long time...Note that you can see the darkness in the swirls, those are ovaries/eggs

Step Three. Don't move while snail comes out of shell! ( moved..alot)

Step Four. When snail finally comes out, try to take a peek inside the shell...

If you can't see all the way back, it's a boy! Hooray! If you can, it's a girl! Even better!

More...After you are done, it is not reccomended you let the snail crawl on you had, as it created a nasty little suction and starts trying to eat...

When you are done, put your snail back in it's home!
