Like the title says. at what age do most snails become sexually mature. I have 5 mystery snails (1 gold who is a bit older, 10 months to a year, and 4 baby blue mystery snails about 5 months old.) I want babies!!! :)

I looked at applesnail.net and didn't find much about a specific age.

If you want apple snails to lay eggs you will need to lower the water in your tank by at least 3 inches also if you have any air pumps you will need to turn them down a notch as the eggs need to stay moist but not soaked (as the eggs will drown) If they lay them too close to the lights you may need to keep the lights off or remove the eggs to avoid them drying out.

Dont rush the snails, they will breed when there ready. Just enjoy them for being the fantasically entertaining creature that they are :-)
