Is there a size an apple snail has to be to lay eggs?
Because my snail Ajula keeps coming out of the water and stays out
for awhile.... when i mean out it's like 2 to 3 inches from the water.
Anyways thanks for any help

Alex,ingeneral,there are alot of factor's as to when they styart to breed.Genetic's,water conditions,what you feed it-all have a rule in it.It's possible for Apple Snails the size of a nickel or so(around 5 months old)to lay eggs. I think that on average,they're closer to Quarter size though,and between 6 and 8 months old.There are exceptions though to every rule though.

Take this as an "Average"
