Mystery snail laying eggs without a male? Will they hatch?

Female birds lay eggs with or without males. They are just not fertilized. You may let her keep the eggs or you may throw them away. Scoobie will continue to lay eggs throughout her life. Please post again if you have any further questions!

If your Oscar is the only fish in the tank and there is not a male present, then the eggs are not going to be fertilized. With the eggs not being fertile, they will not develop into fish. With this, you can do a couple of things - you can leave them, and there is the potential that she will eat the remaining eggs, or you can also remove them. She may continue to lay eggs intermittently - I would recommend monitoring her appetite during these times as sometimes fish will not eat well while they are guarding their eggs. I hope that helps to answer your question, and good luck!

Yes, female birds can lay eggs without a male around but they will not be viable so should be removed. Males can mate with males, but if you suspect you have a male, and a female, and they've mated and laid eggs, then you probably have a pair (and at least one female). If the eggs haven't hatched in three weeks they are likely not viable and should be removed.

Yes, this is the right place! Nerite snails are common and popular in aqua-culture. Most species of snails will reproduce asexually, but nerites need a male and a female snail to reproduce. The female will lay eggs and the male will fertilize them. The good news is that they typically do not reproduce n a freshwater tank. Other species of snails may reproduce and overpopulate the tank. Most snails do not pose any risk of harm to fish. The snail pictured may have come in on live plants and no lives in your tank. You can remove it and discard it if you don't want it in there.

In rare cases, a snake may lay eggs without mating. The eggs are not fertilized as there is no male present. The egg won't hatch. Just take it out of the viv and monitor her for any signs of egg-binding. ( https://www.petcoach.co/article/egg-binding-dystocia-in-reptiles-causes-signs-diagnosis-tre/ ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Cricky may eat the eggs/baby snails. The best thing to do is either remove the eggs to a new tank, put in a breeding net and put the eggs there or provide decorations and hiding areas for the eggs/snails. Be fore warned that snail may reproduce quickly and they can over populate. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additonal questions.

This is fine and no cause for concern. If she has never been housed with a male, the eggs are infertile and can be discarded. As an aside, you can sex a corn snake by gently restraining it and turning it over. Locate the vent and with your thumb, apply gently pressure just below it. If it is a male, this action will make the hemipenes pop out.
