EGGS HELP

[mississaugasnailgal]

My snails laid eggs for the first time!!!! I would like to keep them. What do i do? Do i need to incubate them and if so, how?

If your snail has laid eggs, then that means it thinks the conditions are right for egg rearing. So trust your snails judgement and keep the eggs in an enclosure under similar conditions.
Just make sure there's mesh covering the ventilation so when they hatch they can't escape. They usually hatch within weeks.

I recently hatched eggs, and all I did was bury them in the same kind of substrate in a separate box and misted it regularly. When they hatched I placed cuttlebone powder in a dish for them, along with a little bit of food.

thank you!! I put them is a smaller container next to the main one, and buried them on the same substrate. I mist them every day. I have a question: if they where laid together in a cluster is it ok if they move around a bit

They should be fine, so long as you're gentle with them.
