Well, you could see by the quality of the shell, by the number of whirls ( i think) if you posted some pics then it would be easier for us to know,why do you need to know?

btw snials are homaphrodites which means they are both genders,so you can choose whether your snails a girl or a boy!

Once the snail reaches maturity I don't believe there is any way you can tell it's age.

Pics Would Be Good Too ;D Land snails are incomplet homaphrodites (For that they need other snail for the breed). Some aquatic snails (For example Applesnails) are not homaphrodite (Are male or female, with a sexual dimorphism not very marked). They develop two whorls for year aproximately. But you I cannot say surely to the 100%, regards. |
