They are raising themselves in half me tanks.

www.applesnail.com
is the jackpot site of info for them!
I find chook food pellets with shellgrit in them and a bit of highquality
catfood seem to go down very well.
Other wise they just scavenge in me tanks
gotta love the hatching tho.... reminds me of baby turtles missioning down
to the sea!

You've got to help me out with the translation.
What are chook food pellets?
What is Shellgrit?

Also, what do you do when a snail lays the eggs in a bad place?
Like on the underside of a toilet seat or the baseboard? I can move
the eggs but then how do I care for them until they hatch?
I super glued some to the inside of my aquarium, but they didn't
hatch.
How long (ballpark it for me mate, oy!) from birth to breeding?

Thanks

Ok try out that site for species specific info.
By chook pellets I meant dry food pellets for chickens!
And shell grit is just crushed sell shells sold for birds to eat or as the
bottem of marine tanks.
different species have different hatch rates at different temps
but at least a week and usually more
the site above is what you need
in every language under the sun too
