About a week ago Mo and I were weeding the yard and came across a stash of snail eggs. We relocated the eggs and surrounding habitat to a tuperware container hoping to watch them hatch. We've kept the habitat moist and warm trying to mimic the ideal conditions.
From what I've read a snail egg takes 4-6 weeks to hatch.
But I'm kinda starting to wonder --
Is there anyway to tell if the eggs absolutely will NOT hatch? I don't want to keep them around if they aren't going to hatch. Frankly, their little habitat is getting a bit smelly. I haven't changed out the plant matter -- should I? Or should I just let it decay?
Also, if I end up with 300 or so baby snails what on earth am I going to do with them?
