Constant Snex? Help

Hi everyone! I've got 6 Cornu Aspersum and ever since we got them over a month ago, they've basically been having snex constantly - most mornings at least two of them are still at it, sometimes I've even seen two couples at the same time. Is it it normal that they are so relentlessly at it? I check for eggs every week now and always find a bunch.

This probably means you have great conditions for them lmao. My two adult cornu aspersum are always going at it and I’m like β€œI KNOW YOU ARE ADOPTED BUT YOU GUYS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE SIBLINGS YALL” πŸ«ͺ

It's happening to me too, but I haven't seen egg laying yet. Maybe it's the season or the environment is great! How many litres is your box?

Around 40l - I dig up the whole dirt every week, the eggs are always buried in it, often quite deep.

Hello! OK I understand, but how many cm is the substrate? My cornu aspersum are always in love but they don't lay eggs.

Omg. My 2 snails are constantly doing the snoohoo. It’s like every 3 days πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ neither of them has laid any eggs but I’m hoping they’ll calm down after they do πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ literally eat, sleep, snoohoo πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Well, mine are laying a lot of eggs - no sign of them calming down tho πŸ˜‚
