Question
QUESTION: how do I do it and where can I find info on it?

ANSWER: Hi Susan
Usually there's not much too it, they're pretty easy to breed :)  One thing with snails though, they are a bit sensitive to water quality, so frequent water changes are a must.  I don't know what type of snails you're talking about, but here's a few links with info on them:

This one talks about the different types of snails, and if they can breed by themselves or require another snail to mate with.

Hope that helps and good luck!

QUESTION: the site was great, but why can i only access it for 3 days? there is a lot of info there and it might take longer to go through it all. is there another why to access this site later?

Answer
I don't know what the problem is with it, I just typed it in my address bar and it went right to the site.  Is it telling you you can only access it for 3 days?  Maybe it was down for a bit, that's strange.  Try manually typing it in the address bar and see if that helps.  
I realize I forgot to post the other link for you as well, here's that one:

You'll have to scroll down a little for the snail section, then at the bottom there's more links for snails.  And here's the link for the info on different types of snails:

Sorry about that, and like I said, try adding that one site in manually.  I've looked at it a few weeks back, and it still allowed me to look at it again today, so I"m guessing they were probably just down for awhile.
