how to humanely dispose of apple snail eggs?

[NilsBaees]

My black mystery snail was mating today with my gold mystery snail. I really don't want any more snails, so after i remove the egg clutch from the tank wall, how would i dispose of it? i dont want to let it DRY there, but i dont know what else to do...

Also, what color would the offspring be?

Thanks!

Best to stick them in the freezer than into the trash.

agreed, 24-48 hours in the freezer and you can chuck them in the trash. you can also let them dry out in a sealed container like a coffee tin.

I would freeze them in a plastic baggie then throw it away.

Don't just throw them away, especially sealed in ahumid container/bag. I either crush them and discard or freeze them and discard.

couldnt you give them away instead of killing them?

 

[msjinkzd]

you could locally, but they are illegal to ship.

If I was there I would take them

Well, I dont know who I could give them to. There would be a lot, and also I can't give them back to the LFS to sell because they aren't either gold or black. The eggs will be a product of a gold and a black snail mating, and I don't know what color that would be...maybe a strange brown?

Garbage disposals work wonders.
