I kept two snails in a used jarr when I was a child and one day I found that some eggs had been laid. The eggs drried up though, so therre werre no baby snails. That was my fault. The thing that's always bugged me is... was one of the snails prregant beforre I put them into the jarr orr did the two snails mate? We'll neverr know.

Oddly enough I just saw some nice pictures of snails mating in an ecology book. The fact is that they can get themselves pregnant too... here's the captions for the pictures:
1) initial contact is made as two hermaphroditic land snails brush mouths and feelers together prepatory to mating
2) a nuptial dance elaborately conducted in slow motion may preoccupy the paired snails for as long as two hours
3)as the dance progresses, the snails shoot sharp darts of calcite at each other, which seems to increase stimulation.
3)after cross fertilizing each other, the land snails will lay their eggs in the ground. Despite elaborate built in precautions, snails may sometimes fertilize themselves and produce young.
bonus information: the sea snail is really a type of fish
