Question
I am 11 years oldand I have two questions one: how do you tell a male gold snail frome a female? and two: how do gold snails mate? ,THANK YOU

Answer
Unfortunately it is impossible to tell the difference because snails are both male and female. . If two snails mate they both become pregnant. They both go off and lay their eggs in the gravel or stuck to the plants in your tank. These are in the form of jelly. the young snails hatch after a few days and then start to breed very quickly.
