# Gender

Snails are hermaphrodites and they can use their reproduction systems however they like. In Snail Trail;

• Each Snail is born without a default gender.
• Players can assign a gender to their Snails or change the gender of their Snails.
• Once a gender is registered, it cannot be changed for 30 days.

# Incubation

On the page, a player can either;

• Provide both a male and a female Snail from their inventory
• Or provide a female Snail and buy a genome of another male from the gene market to start breeding.

  

Owners can breed with their Snails once a month. In each breed period:

• A male can donate a genome once. Donated genome can be sold three times on the Gene Market.
  • After the genome donation, there will be a 30-day cooldown period before the next one starts.
• A female can lay eggs once.
  • The eggs hatch instantly, no waiting period.
  • 99.9% of the time only one Snail hatches from an egg, but with a 0.1% chance, there might be twins.
  • After fertilization, there will be a 30-day cooldown period before the next breed can start.
