Do they?


No,


And what's the cure?


Fill the gaps. the snails will be taking advantage of the gaps as
somewhere safe to rest, not causing them.

So what does cause them?


Mummy & Daddy sanails :-)


Nope, MummyDaddy & MummyDaddy snails, they are hermaphrodites you see.

Can one mummydaddy snail make baby snails on its own? (he asked,
returning the topic to DIY)


No

It would be interesting if someone asked you "to go **** yourself" and then
you got pregnant by doing so. The birth certificate would look interesting.
