Within 2-4 weeks, the eggs hatch. Snails are rapid reproducers, breeding as often as once a month. Natural enemies of the snail include snakes, toads, turtles, birds, and ground beetles. Snails possess a radula, which is a rough, tongue-like organ with rows of tiny teeth. The radula is used to scrape away at leaves, flowers and other greens.
Snails exist on a diet primarily of living and decaying plants, fruits, and barks.
Thanks, in part, to their quick reproduction skills, this species has never been in any real danger of extinction. Many fish lovers use snails as a natural means of cleaning fish aquariums. They exist on land, in lakes and streams and in freshwater. Inc. PageWise makes no representations about the content published on this site.
