Astrea Snails Spitting

[Joe Fish]

What are the chances of my getting baby astrea snails? I watch one yesterday spitting stuff out. Or will they all get eat'en up?

I'll put all of my money on poo. They're expelling waste materials to be exact.

LOL @ dbacksrat's post

yeah most likey its "waste material" dont they lay eggs in a slow manner and in bunches?

What did the "stuff" look like?
If it was a milky whitish then it was probably sperm...
The last few I picked up there were two that did this, but the odds of there being eggs to be fertilized are pretty slim. Conditions have to be pretty much just right....

The snail kind of 'stood on it's back legs' and spit tiny thing out about half a dozen times. I don't think it was waste from what I have researched.
