Snail Eggs?

[growingkasbar]

Ok this may be me being really stupid, but i didnt know that snails lay eggs. I guess thinking about it logically they must do and its obvious. But to be honest ive never gave it much thought. I realised today when i went out to check the veggies. There was a snail in my container, and i tried to pull him off but he was stuck so i put a spade into the soil and leavered him out. When he came up there were lots of little white balls stuck to him.....or rather her. lol. So i had to throw him over the fence in a very pathetic girly way.

and you did what with the eggs? Put them on the bird table?

or give them to chickens its like caviar to them and very satisfying to know they wont be hatching into slugs/snails

BTW, chucking the snail over the fence doesn't do any good - they will come back.

yep!
paint some, and see for yourself. I know my own snails ... they are the type "Chanel Rouge Noir"

Snails are both 'him' and 'her' so any 2 can tango (often mutually).....
