Pic #1 not a baby but it might be an unnatural relationship developing. Pic #2 blueleg hermit, I like 'em but revues are mixed.

I think almost, if not all, snails are asexual (meaning they can reproduce by themselves). They lay little white eggs on rocks and the glass that will eventually hatch into little snails (well... thats the case with freshwater snails anyways, hehe). I dont think you need to do anything special to the water to help them survive. just make sure they have plenty of food :yes:
