breeding size for briggs
- Thread starter bass n ri
- Start date
They are sexually mature at about nickel size. My females were a little larger than that when they started laying viable eggs.

i don't think it really goes by size, but more so by age and the quality of the environment/food, etc. my snails bred like rabbits if i kept them well fed and kept the water clean. a snail that is not fed or cared for properly all its life will never reach full size potential.
now i have about a dozen juvenile snails in a 55 community tank and some of them are about the same size as their mom when she laid her first clutch but none of the babies have started laying clutches yet, although i have seen the behaviours that they are breeding. these snails are approx 4 to 6 months old.
msjinkz! where are you? we need you on this thread! lol.

not yet, i'm still a lil confused as to what to look for exactly (doing research), and these snails are way too 'on the move' for me to look at each and every one (12 baby snails in a planted 55 with other fish).
when i got my first two snails i just lucked out getting a male and female, and then by pure luck bought another male and the only snail i kept from my first clutch just happened to be a female, so i ended up with babies all the way along. i got invert luck! lol.
