I heard that you shouldn't put them in the water like this because they drown inside the egg casing. Put them on some styrofoam and float the clutch until they start coming out themselves. Im sure you lost quite a few to drowning.
😂😂 how does a snail that lives in water drown 🤷🏿♂️I’m confused like a MF cause I have babies right now I though it was gon dry out and put more water in the tank
Your clutches are so blue! Thankyou so much I cracked mine open soooo gently with tweezers to get them hatching, then they went mad. My snails are ivory so their clutches are rose pink. Lovely video..I fell in love with mysteries immediately ❤
I found a pair of small but long (they were hard to remove for that reason) clutches of eggs on my tank a few weeks ago and moved them to a plastic container with a ball of wet tissue in there. I spent about 4 days researching the best setups on how to hatch them, only for all of them to hatch just after 4 days or so. When i opened the container there were tiny snails all over. Now I've got 160 1/3 cm snails in a tank haha.
Next time break the clutch up, don't just dump the clutch in the water, that's a good way to drown most of the clutch. Unless that's what you were intending.
Raising baby Mystery Snails is a lot of fun! I never planned to do this, it just happened. While I lost quite a bit in a failed attempt to move them to another tank (I've since successfully moved the rest to another tank), I've got like 80 left that are various sizes. I've got like 10 that are almost the size of a 5 cent coin now. I've got a pet store that is willing to take them too. Meanwhile, my mother snail (called Dio), keeps laying more egg sacks. But they all seem to be duds that don't hatch anymore...
In case anyone is going to do this, if you want a higher success rate you should swish them. This is the process of gently breaking apart the eggs so they don't drown in them, as can happen on occasion. But they're super cute, and im so happy to see this process!
Here because I have 1 mystery snail I've had for months and the clutch LOOKS fertile but incubating just to make sure. Thanks for putting pictures of them day by day, I've never done this before so I have no idea what I'm looking for. 3 days in but all eggs look pinkish still!
Congrats on the new babies. Once mine started to crumble to the touch I just stuck the clutch in the water and gently shook them out. It's amazing how many there are in there!
Top job on the hatching so awesome to watch it from the start to the finish Another great video love the birds in the back round the hole package and just look at the views it’s gotten so far and so worthy of them. I herd you got a new pet
I am just mind blown on some of the views! Thank you! I just love the new critter! I hope I have everything right now! he is so handsome! I cant wait tll they are all settled so I can make a video for sure!
Ok so I woke up this morning.. and there was just a clutch of snail eggs in my tank! And I couldn’t find the snail that layer these anywhere! So I’m confused on what to do with this clutch and how to hatch them!
Awesome! I will keep working at it. Have at least 10 clutches. Have to get it right sooner or later. I think I kept the first ones too dry and the second ones to damp.
lol. I do that randomly with all kinds of things on you tube! it is half the fun. I have discovered all sorts of things about and things I want to try.
The whole start is missing from your “start to finish”? My snails currently lay a clutch on the underside of the lid. It dries out and never turns grey - where was yours found? How did you move it? At the end it’s implied they went to a plastic container - what was done to it while in there?
Chris M a filter would be helpful as they are poop machines. Tho most starve, they just don’t move far that first week and need more food then you think
YAY snail babies! How many survived? I'd have been paranoid of them drowning before they broke out. lol I'm supre cautious though. Can't wait to see them grow up!
Hoorah! Congratulations - I have been hoping that this worked out for you! Fantastic footage. You might have to name one after Rachel - her method seemed to work well for you! This is great :)
Thank you for the daily photos very helpful... our first clutch is just beginning to turn grayish and I wasn’t sure how long we had to wait. I guess we’ve got a few more days!
Thats a different way of hatching their eggs, than what I've seen before but yours is more successful than mine. I will have to try it your way next time. Congrats on the snail babies. :D)
So I have 2 mystery snails I never saw eggs but I just found 1 baby snail on the side of my tank is there a possibility of them just lying 1 egg or why would I only see 1 baby and have not seen any eggs?
Hey guys, these are actually apple snail eggs, they’re an incredible invasive species. I’m not sure myself as to why, but it’s the best if you crush them
If a bit confused on how to like incubate do well first as soon as the hatch is like there do you take it out and put it in a humid container? And if you do,do you put a lid on it? How do I make it humid? Do I just use a little more than warm water and spray it in the container and put it in a warm area then put paper in the middle to hold the eggs? I’m sorry I just have many questions hope you reply soon or just any one that knows this because I had an egg clutch before and I waited for almost a whole month and there was no changes to the clutch... I’m sorry if this made anyone mad I didn’t know what to do and I was a beginner so I was panicking so yeah again please anyone explain
the paper towel was a little wet that I put them on inside the plastic container. just enough to steam up in the container but no water is running in the container. no worries if you didn't get the first batch to hatch. it can take some practice for sure!
How/where did you keep the box (?) in which they were brooding/incubating/growing? I'm on my last 2 snails out of 5 after a year and a half, and i got them to finally mate! They're actually mating right now, so I'll be watching for the clutch to be laid. I was going to put them in a partly open ziploc with tank water dampened paper towels on top of my computer for warmth and humidity.
It is just an easy way to make sure they are all getting food and see them grow better. You can leave them in the location they are in if you already have lots or don’t want as many. Up to you
If they crawl out of the breeding box will the guppies eat them all? I have mine hatching right now in a tuber wear with low water and a wet paper towel. I have a 40 gallon tank with goldfish and ramhorn snails. I have a 20 gallon with ramhorn snails and guppies. A 20 gallon with guppy fry and ram horn snails. And I have a 5 gallon with mid water level with 2 mystery adult snails 2 vampire crabs ghost shrimp and some guppies. Should I move the hatched baby snails I to an aquarium? I'm just scared my aquarium fish or other snails crabs would eat them?
Mine eat left over fish food and algae. They are not the best algae eaters but they help. Every couple days I give them rapashy mixed with a calcium supplement.
Thank you~ I have them in a floating container until they get a bit bigger, the biggest tank to hold them all is the guppys and Was scared they wouldn't find enough food.
you have to have them out of the water until the last day or the babies will drown. you can just leave them where they are they should be safe and some hatch for you
Great video, just wanna ask,since i now have also hatching, do they need oxygen? Because i had a first batch they all died after couple of weeks? Is there any advice you can give? Thanks
i just found a cluster under my daughters lid. so i put them back in the water,. after researching i seen that wasnt suppose to happen so i took them out after a few hours in there.. can they still survive? i put them in a plastic container with holes in the top of the lid. and did 2 wet papertowels drained and 2 dry. what do i need to do now?? leave them in the container do they need heat what needs to happen
A few of mine are already hatched but they aren't in water or anything and they haven't moved Am I supposed to put them in water Will they die if I don't I was told they will all die if you put the EGGS in water before they are ready
Once they start breaking out of the egg sack put them in the water so they can breath. They would fall into the water naturally once they hatch. As they are developing they would drown. Thanks for asking.
So... The clutches should hatch in about 11 DAYS?!, NOT 2 weeks like some other post are saying.IS THIS TRUE ??? THE 11 DAYS!😳??? PLZ . REPLY BACK. I HAVE 2 CLUTCHES I WANT TO SAVE & HAVE THE BABIES LIVE!!! PLZ.
I have 1 mystery snail. I just took something out of my tank that looked exactly like this. But with only 1 snail, I fail to see how they would be viable.
It could have been that your snail could have retained Sperm from her previous partner. Just incubate then for a week or two and if nothing happened just throw it out or keep it I guess
My mom went to the river and caught a freshwater snail, ive tried searching for what type it is but i just cant seem to find it! It laid a batch of eggs idk if its asexual or was fertilized before my mom caught it. The eggs are now about 4 days old a d theres tiny little snails in them the eggs are clear , they seem to be doing fine underwater so far. I still want to know if theres anything else i can do for them???
Help! I have 2 mystery snails, one ive had for month and then the second one i just recently got. Literally the next day i found 3 microscopic baby mystery snails. I looked around the tank i did not find any eggs or anything like that….Just 3 baby snails….. Can someone explain how this could have been possible? Would the babies have somehow travelled from the pet store with the snail? Is that even possible? How can my snail have laid 3 eggs and hatched in one night?? Im at a loss for words…
I had a clutch suddenly hatch today that I left stuck to the glass. The adults were below the clutch. I don't know if they ate the babies as they hatched or not. 😢 I wasn't sure if it was hatching or got eaten by the adults or got damaged somehow. I came back after an hour or so and the clutch was all broken and gone with the adults below it... 😲
I’m studying this because I have my very first clutch I think they are about 3 or 4 days old I’m not sure. I hope they make it 🥺🥺 I think they r still in the pink stage but I don’t smell anything and they are hard
@Down the Worm Hole thank you! So had an idea since I have so many clutches instead of Tupperware or anything I took round foam cut it in a u shape 8 clutches on each it's working perfectly 😀
I can never get my eggs to hatch. Let them be in the tank, put them in a container with wet paper towel and floated. Tried sponge in bottom of container with some water but nothing. Any tips would be great.
I have only one mystery snail and I've had her for probably 6 months. This morning I looked in my tank and there is a clump of eggs at the top of the tank. Can they be viable eggs? Do they need to mate to reproduce?
I am patiently waiting for my mystery snail eggs to hatch. I have left them in the tank where they were laid. When I notice they are starting to hatch, should I move the clutch into a breeding box that is kept there in the tank? Is that what you did? I don’t want my platys to eat them.
Well I’m not sure what happened here. I’m afraid the eggs dried up? It’s been 3 weeks and now the cluster looks really weird. Trying to attach a photo. Can’t figure out how to add a photo
the chain stores in your area may or may not take them. I work at the local owned shop and they may give you credit. you can also try posting them on line later
Is it possible for a female mystery snail to stop being fertile? My snail laid eggs once, hatched, and 2 survived from the clutch. But all eggs laid after that hasn’t hatched, she’s laid maybe 4 clutches. She doesn’t have a male in the tank currently, but I hope from the clutch that hatched one of them will be a male and mate with her
Alright I'm gonna ask a stupid question, I read somewhere that you can't touch them,cause they contain a neurotoxin,and one egg can kill you lol? How true is this,plus I just seen you touch them and your fine,so I'm just curious has anyone else heard this,and congratulations mine has already had 2 clutches
People post about incubating them but nobody talks about how or when to get them back in the water! Now I know, when it's been a bit and it's starting to get soft again... would it be weird for me to put my clutch (in a lil container with wet paper towels) under my gecko's baking light? Not sure if it needs heat or extra help staying moist during the incubation. Any comments? Just came home today to eggs on the wall... and I guess correctly to who they belonged to haha
sounds like you are starting an adventure. they dont need the extra light but do need to be warm. the container should get some moisture on the side but no water in the bottom. you got this!
I wish you would have zoomed in on the babies for a few minutes. I'd love to have watched them
ya always miss something in a video for sure!
Same
I'm so happy! I woke up this morning to find snail eggs! Thank you for the ideas on how to care for those babies

GodzOfHeavenzz Xbox Player very cool! Glad you figured it out!
So they hatched in less than 2 weeks 😲 just found a clutch this morning!
Me too
@@ceo.yashvardhan I just found them this morning!!

I woke up to a clutch right now,first time ever
Now I need to study what to do
Omg i just found some today!

So cool! Exactly 11 days is always my experience...lol. Thank you for sharing this!
🐌💕🐌💕🐌💕🐌💕🐌💕
I think I missed one day in there, it was sooo neat to see myself.
@@DowntheWormHoleyou missed day 10
Next time break the clutch up, don't just dump the clutch in the water, that's a good way to drown most of the clutch. Unless that's what you were intending.
I got 230 of them so I dont think I was intending on drowning them :) They were soft enough you didn't need to worry about that at that point
Right? I was kringing the whole time and she was talking while they drowning in their shells 🙄

“How I hatched mystery snail eggs”
on accident and now im being overrun lmao
lol
Congrats on the new babies. Once mine started to crumble to the touch I just stuck the clutch in the water and gently shook them out. It's amazing how many there are in there!
lol it is! every time I go in there I swear there are more! that was sooo much fun!
I definitely was keeping my incubation box too moist. Thank you for the heads up. I have tons of eggs I need to hatch.
Top job on the hatching so awesome to watch it from the start to the finish Another great video love the birds in the back round the hole package and just look at the views it’s gotten so far and so worthy of them. I herd you got a new pet

Awesome! I will keep working at it. Have at least 10 clutches. Have to get it right sooner or later. I think I kept the first ones too dry and the second ones to damp.
10!!! holy poop lol. I have still only gotten the one.

lol
Great video buddy!! Keep up the great work just subscribed!!
I dont have snails but i just watch this kind of stuff anyways
lol. I do that randomly with all kinds of things on you tube! it is half the fun. I have discovered all sorts of things about and things I want to try.

It was found just under the lid of the tank, I just took it off with my hand, I did nothing to it while in there.
Do newly hatched snails need a filter in tank? What do they eat? I just had a clutch hatch and 2 days later, I Think they are all dead.
Chris M a filter would be helpful as they are poop machines. Tho most starve, they just don’t move far that first week and need more food then you think
YAY snail babies! How many survived? I'd have been paranoid of them drowning before they broke out. lol I'm supre cautious though. Can't wait to see them grow up!
there are hundreds around the top of the container today, it worked very well. now just have to get them eatting and we are set.
That's awesome! I'm so excited :D
Yeah I wondered two
Hoorah! Congratulations - I have been hoping that this worked out for you! Fantastic footage. You might have to name one after Rachel - her method seemed to work well for you! This is great :)
thank you! was soo much fun! and even tho I knew there would be lots that is just too much! it is the ratchel container lol
I just found a clutch!!! Now do we separate the clutch out the tank to keep our fishes from eating the babies?
Very cool Dea! Congrats on the baby snails
Thank you! that was so much fun!
Thank you for the daily photos very helpful... our first clutch is just beginning to turn grayish and I wasn’t sure how long we had to wait. I guess we’ve got a few more days!
how did it go? I hope you got some success!
Great!!! The babies are 6 days old. She laid two more clutches lol we hatched clutch number 2 today.
Thats a different way of hatching their eggs, than what I've seen before but yours is more successful than mine. I will have to try it your way next time. Congrats on the snail babies. :D)
Thank you! it was so very effective! there are hundreds in there tonight. was a blast to do as well because the kiddo could check them out too.
I love you
Thank you for shearing 🐌🐌❤️ I’m new to this and mine just gave to beautiful pink eggs
So interesting. Thnx for sharing. Happy New Year😀👍🐌🐌🐌
thanks for checking it out!
How did that fit in the snail jesus
Lol I know right!
So I have 2 mystery snails I never saw eggs but I just found 1 baby snail on the side of my tank is there a possibility of them just lying 1 egg or why would I only see 1 baby and have not seen any eggs?
Did you buy anything new recently? Those things get everywhere at pet stores. EVERYWHERE
I've been waiting forever but my snails finally laid EGGS YESSSSSS
Thank you for your sharing i enjoy with your video
Hey guys, these are actually apple snail eggs, they’re an incredible invasive species. I’m not sure myself as to why, but it’s the best if you crush them
Not to mention they carry diseases, like rat ringworm, which can infect food and possibly kill you
Apple snails are just fine to keep, breed, and sell here. There are a few snails we can’t have here but these are fine for now.
I see, alright then
If a bit confused on how to like incubate do well first as soon as the hatch is like there do you take it out and put it in a humid container? And if you do,do you put a lid on it?

I had just kept the box in my heated fish room, was a constant 78 in there and I just kept the lid closed to keep it humid. best of luck to you!!
Just found a small clutch in my 10 gallon tank. Should I move them to a container with a wet paper towel?
What temperature do you keep them at?
why do you remove them from the glass?
It is just an easy way to make sure they are all getting food and see them grow better. You can leave them in the location they are in if you already have lots or don’t want as many. Up to you
Excuse the dumb question but what exactly did you do to make eggs hatch.. ????
Great video and congrats on all the babies.
Thank you AA! it was soo much fun seeing it in person.
Aqua Apprenti
I have singular white eggs scattered around my whole aquarium. But from videos they're usually in clumps...
Did you ever figure out what the eggs were from?
@@DowntheWormHole nerite snails. Never hatched as must be in brackish water
I don’t know what to do my snail eggs have been the exact same light pink except like kinda clear and nothing has happened after nearly 2 weeks
If they crawl out of the breeding box will the guppies eat them all? I have mine hatching right now in a tuber wear with low water and a wet paper towel. I have a 40 gallon tank with goldfish and ramhorn snails. I have a 20 gallon with ramhorn snails and guppies. A 20 gallon with guppy fry and ram horn snails. And I have a 5 gallon with mid water level with 2 mystery adult snails 2 vampire crabs ghost shrimp and some guppies. Should I move the hatched baby snails I to an aquarium? I'm just scared my aquarium fish or other snails crabs would eat them?
Can i keep mine on the top of the aquarium or do i put them in a container
Plz plz plz put them in the container they will be more likely to hatch!
Nice footage... Congrats on babies. You did a fine job. Thanks
What is a good first food? they haven't touched the bean or algae wafer... or does it take a day?
Mine eat left over fish food and algae. They are not the best algae eaters but they help. Every couple days I give them rapashy mixed with a calcium supplement.
Thank you~ I have them in a floating container until they get a bit bigger, the biggest tank to hold them all is the guppys and Was scared they wouldn't find enough food.
that s sweet Dea !
Can I put the eggs inside the tank already? Or I need to put it in a different container like what you did?
you have to have them out of the water until the last day or the babies will drown. you can just leave them where they are they should be safe and some hatch for you
I mean if I could just leave it on top of the tank? Or supposed to be in a container?
Congrats!! Itty bitty baby snails!
Thank you! they are sooo cute little purple dots.
Do we have to put on the paper
Awesome video looks like corn!! Awesome video!!
thank you so much Everything fish!
Did u wash your hands after touching them they very poisoness
Congrats! Very cool to see the time lapse!
Thanks for stopping in Heather!
The hatch egg is eaten by the fish?
Great video, just wanna ask,since i now have also hatching, do they need oxygen? Because i had a first batch they all died after couple of weeks? Is there any advice you can give? Thanks
Imagine in an alternative universe,you did it on apple snails
Why even take them out though? They lay the eggs above the water line. They know what to do theirself
i just found a cluster under my daughters lid. so i put them back in the water,. after researching i seen that wasnt suppose to happen so i took them out after a few hours in there.. can they still survive? i put them in a plastic container with holes in the top of the lid. and did 2 wet papertowels drained and 2 dry. what do i need to do now?? leave them in the container do they need heat what needs to happen
I hope mine do fine without any help.
What kind of egg is hatching
these are from a fresh water mystery or apple snail
wow so educational amazing video 😍
A few of mine are already hatched but they aren't in water or anything and they haven't moved
Am I supposed to put them in water
Will they die if I don't
I was told they will all die if you put the EGGS in water before they are ready
Once they start breaking out of the egg sack put them in the water so they can breath. They would fall into the water naturally once they hatch. As they are developing they would drown. Thanks for asking.
Want to keep in dty place ?
Is it okay to leave the eggs on the surface the snail put them? My snail just laid eggs for the very first time but I kinda do not want to move them!
So... The clutches should hatch in about 11 DAYS?!, NOT 2 weeks like some other post are saying.IS THIS TRUE ??? THE 11 DAYS!😳??? PLZ . REPLY BACK. I HAVE 2 CLUTCHES I WANT TO SAVE & HAVE THE BABIES LIVE!!! PLZ.
Yo my snails had like 30 little snails and i dont want them what do i do
I have 1 mystery snail. I just took something out of my tank that looked exactly like this. But with only 1 snail, I fail to see how they would be viable.
It could have been that your snail could have retained Sperm from her previous partner. Just incubate then for a week or two and if nothing happened just throw it out or keep it I guess
So what happened with your clutch? :) 😍
Snails can have babies by themselves but its not very common they can be viable the could not be it depends
My mom went to the river and caught a freshwater snail, ive tried searching for what type it is but i just cant seem to find it! It laid a batch of eggs idk if its asexual or was fertilized before my mom caught it. The eggs are now about 4 days old a d theres tiny little snails in them the eggs are clear , they seem to be doing fine underwater so far.

Are you saying it only took 11 days from start to finish to develop and hatch??? 😲
yep! I missed taking a picture one day but it was really neat to watch!

I don't know if they ate the babies as they hatched or not. 😢 I wasn't sure if it was hatching or got eaten by the adults or got damaged somehow. I came back after an hour or so and the clutch was all broken and gone with the adults below it... 😲
My snails just laied eggs sticking on the glass. Should i just leave them at their place?
for sure! they will hatch out fine if the mom put them in a good location, if you dont want any babies they pop off the glass easily
I’m studying this because I have my very first clutch I think they are about 3 or 4 days old I’m not sure. I hope they make it 🥺🥺 I think they r still in the pink stage but I don’t smell anything and they are hard
Still waiting for my clutches to get grey I have trouble with patience can’t wait for them to hatch hope they are OK.
did they hatch?? I have the patience of I toothpick I hear ya!
My mystery snail eggs did not look like that, they looked like little moons on the side of the glass. So strange
I'm expecting snails soon, looks like this is what to expect.
it is really neat if you decide to hatch them. best of luck!
Nice tank
I have close to a 1000 babies right now :)
Congratulations!
@Down the Worm Hole thank you! So had an idea since I have so many clutches instead of Tupperware or anything I took round foam cut it in a u shape 8 clutches on each it's working perfectly 😀
Great video 👍
Thank you for watching !
I can never get my eggs to hatch. Let them be in the tank, put them in a container with wet paper towel and floated. Tried sponge in bottom of container with some water but nothing. Any tips would be great.
how many snails do you have? are they changing colors at all? maybe you only have females and they are infertile.
I have only one mystery snail and I've had her for probably 6 months. This morning I looked in my tank and there is a clump of eggs at the top of the tank. Can they be viable eggs? Do they need to mate to reproduce?
They need a buddy to have babies for sure. it is not uncommon for a happy well feed girl to lay some eggs.
I am patiently waiting for my mystery snail eggs to hatch. I have left them in the tank where they were laid. When I notice they are starting to hatch, should I move the clutch into a breeding box that is kept there in the tank? Is that what you did? I don’t want my platys to eat them.
yes I moved mine into the breeder box as they were hatching. they get food easier and are safe from fish and tank cleaning. best of luck to you!
Well I’m not sure what happened here. I’m afraid the eggs dried up? It’s been 3 weeks and now the cluster looks really weird. Trying to attach a photo. Can’t figure out how to add a photo
V nice uploading n fr good job
thank you so much Ekta :)
What do I do with all these eggs? Sell them to petco?
the chain stores in your area may or may not take them. I work at the local owned shop and they may give you credit. you can also try posting them on line later
Good ⭐
Can the fish in the tank eat the babies?
Most fish dont like snails, just too crunchie. their biggest problem is finding food when they are that small.
I was wondering why my snail is above water and panicked and pull it and just saw some eggs i feel guilty 😅😅😔
eap! lol guess you both had a surprise lol
Is it possible for a female mystery snail to stop being fertile? My snail laid eggs once, hatched, and 2 survived from the clutch. But all eggs laid after that hasn’t hatched, she’s laid maybe 4 clutches. She doesn’t have a male in the tank currently, but I hope from the clutch that hatched one of them will be a male and mate with her
she may have had some left over sperm from the shop for that one clutch, she will need a male to make any more viable eggs. great question!
Alright I'm gonna ask a stupid question, I read somewhere that you can't touch them,cause they contain a neurotoxin,and one egg can kill you lol? How true is this,plus I just seen you touch them and your fine,so I'm just curious has anyone else heard this,and congratulations mine has already had 2 clutches
The eggs look like raspberry’s
WOW well done Dea!!!!!
Thank you NY!
did they all live?
for sure! some of the most fun I have had trying to breed aquarium things. sold a lot online around the city
People post about incubating them but nobody talks about how or when to get them back in the water! Now I know, when it's been a bit and it's starting to get soft again... would it be weird for me to put my clutch (in a lil container with wet paper towels) under my gecko's baking light? Not sure if it needs heat or extra help staying moist during the incubation. Any comments? Just came home today to eggs on the wall... and I guess correctly to who they belonged to haha
sounds like you are starting an adventure. they dont need the extra light but do need to be warm. the container should get some moisture on the side but no water in the bottom. you got this!
Can they survive in the tank? I have a tank and my snails had eggs but I never took them out, they’ve been in there for about 2 weeks now
Did they hatch? cuz I’m curious if I should let the eggs b in the tank
My main concern is do you keep the lid on when incubating the snailbies
Yes. Poke some holes in the top to let out extra humidity and just float it in your tank
So I need to keep them moist?
