Do Snails Reproduce?

Well, I looked in my tank and I saw this little tiny snail that looked like it was almost covered in a white film (sortof like a newly naturally split mushroom). It is much smaller than my other 4 snails. I beleive my snails are mexican turbo snails, but I'm not sure - if not, they look a lot like them and are about 1.25" diameter average.
Do you think the snails reproduced, or is it just a hitchhiker? My tanks been setup for about 4 months and I'm still finding new hitchhikers.

The turbo snails in my tank are like rabbits. Very few make it to adulthood though.

Did it look like a typical snail, like with a coiled shell and all? Could possibly have been a stomatella - can look a little meatier and whitish?

They absolutely reproduce, but I don't know if that is what you have or not. These are my newest additions. They showed up about 3 days ago!
