Queen conche

[mysticgal22]

How do you breed the queen? I know that they are asexual but what conditions need to be met? thanks!

They are not Asexual. You need a mature male and female. After reaching a length of 10 or 11 inches the shell will begin to flair out instead of curving around. That's when you know they are mature.

Maybe it's possible. The Black Widow Spider can have 4 sets of young over a 2 year stretch before she has to mate again. I've heard from some that she can hold sperm for up to a recorded 5 years.
