  Most terrestrial snails are hermaphrodites, so it’s more like they can only mate with their own sex. But it’s a bit more complicated than that; they typically produce sperm earlier than they produce egg cells, to discourage self-fertilisation, so you could argue they start male and end female.

    Careful, if the Republicans get wind of this they’ll start calling snails a woke, radical trans plot.

    Youth to inject random new genes for testing and age to work with what’s tried and true …. Huh.

  Depends on the type of snail, there are male, female, hermaphroditic and parthenogenetic types. Since they wrote “his reproductive organs”, Jeremy is probably a hermaphroditic snail.

  they are hermaphrodites, so they mate with any other snail of the same species, and the same coiled shell.
