Snails and slugs
Snails and slugs are hermaphrodites, which means they have both male and female reproductive organs.
Mating takes place in spring. After mating, both snails dig a hole in the ground where they lay small white circular eggs.
When the young snail emerges from its egg, it already has a small transparent shell on its back.
