i posted a few days/ a week ago (i cant remember) about my mystery snail not laying, and many of you siad it was bcs they were often picky and other things like that. well, its been AT LEAST a week (maybe even MORE) and she still hasnt laid!! is everything okay? i observed her crawling halfway out of the water and got very hopeful, as she seemed to be pondering each spot, but eventually she just dropped back down into the water. And then again, i did see snail grazing marks above the waterline. :( Is she okay? will the eggs remain inside her forever? will i ever get baby snails? this is my first time with mystery snails actually breeding so im very worried. :( thanks!

They can store sperm for up to 3 months, so just keep up the good work.
