If you look carefully, you'll find them. Snails lay eggs, which hatch into tiny snails. As far as I know, this applies to land, freshwater and sea snails. However, as there are many thousands of species, I'd not be surprised to find some have live babies.
After a rainy night there are hundreds and hundreds of tiny baby snails on the wall at the front of my house. I took this photo for a project one of my children was doing for school http://tinyurl.com/5nvvz each snail is about 1cm across.
They have even less reason to exist than arachnids. Vile creatures.
Lodekka -- they may not be too keen on you either... Spiders are lovely creatures. Snails are not only lovely, but tasty too. Come to think of it, I've never tried a spider -- perhaps I'm missing something?
Snails and I have a mutual agreement drawn up several years ago, and never the twain shall meet.
