Question about snails?

(I have a Ramshorn Snail)
Well some one tell me the breeding process and how long do they live for?
Answers:
its called parthenogenesis
fertilizing your own eggs

and snails can do that
as well as earthworms
My understanding is that snails somehow (I'm not making this up) reproduce on their own! They do not need to breed!
Snails are generally gonochoristic, which means that they each have a distinct sex of either male or female. However, a few species of mollusks may be hermaphroditic, having no true sex.
All mollusks produce sexually, requiring two parents. The life span of snails varies, usually from about a week to maybe 6 months.
there right they can bread on there own it all depends on the way you care for it
