Are apple snails hermaphrodite?
No, apple snails are not hermaphrodite like some other snail families (mainly land and freshwater species). This means you’ll need a male and a female to get baby snails. A sex change from male to female has been described for some Pila and Pomacea apple snails. In case of Pila snails, the male needs a preparatory aestivation period to become a female, while the Pomacea snails can possibly change sex at all times. The frequency at which this sex change occurs is not certain.
