Can rabbit snails hold sperm like brigs can?


See last night after the lights went out I took a peek at my invert tank. I usually see more activity at night and it's about the only time I have a chance to see my micro crabs.
Well my 4 rabbit snails were all out eating, wait I don't have 4 rabbit snails I have 3. I counted over and over and even turned on the lights. I have a new rabbit snail. It's odd because only one of my snails is big enough to have babies and she had one right after I got her. My other 2 are really small. I had another one that was half the size of my big one but it died shortly after I got it. So my only explanation is my rabbit snail had another baby without breeding again. Can this happen?
 
That is very interesting. You may be the first person to notice this. Try to keep records as these could be the first such.
 
I think I saw somewhere that they can hold 5 babies at once as well, and then release them as they mature, but I wasn't too sure about whether or not that was accurate.
 
Wow cool!

How interesting. And here I thought I was lucky when she had a baby a few days after I got her. Now there maybe more to come! All snails are doing well.
I bought the first snail on 3-3 and she had a baby a couple days after that. So now a little over a month later she had another one. How interesting. We'll see what next month brings!
