I've been watching my Apple Snails closely ever since obtaining them around 4 months in the past. Yesterday(09/22/2006), at night, one my adult snails was climbing up that stick I had shown in "Rate my Tank Freshwater" thread section. A few minutes later another adult snails was following. I thought this was peculiar because this was the first time they came out of the water since being in their new abode(my aquarium). I was observing this all through my parents night vision camera, to not disturb them by having the light on. I went to bed shortly after because I had to be up early the following day. The next morning I had suspected this and was right, my female snail, I belive to be the yellow one had deposited eggs on the stick. Here is the pictures if anyone wanted to take a look. The 1st image show my aquarium with the stick, I had to add suports to keep the stick in place because my gravel isn't deep enough to hold it in place under the snails weight. The 2nd image is of the eggs. My species of Apple Snail(Pomacea Bridgesii) likes to deposit their eggs above the waterline as shown here. I inverted the colors of the 2nd image to better see the eggs because the picture was a little dark. For this species the eggs are a the color of pale pink to reddish.
