    Doesn’t it depend on whether you are looking at the left or the right side of the shell?

      No, you’re thinking of clockwise vs counter clockwise.

      As the shell spirals around itself, it does not create a flat disk. Rather, it creates a cone shape.

      If Jeremy was pointed North, the point of his cone would point to the west, while most other snails would point east.

      You can see it in the photo on this post.

    this does cause speciation when they cant mate with a differently coiled snail, down the line.

      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.

          Snail sex is weird and complicated, at least compared to what humans have.

      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.

      they are hermaphrodites, so they mate with any other snail of the same species, and the same coiled shell. they usually dont have uni-sex individuals. flatworms, annelids are hermaphrodites as well. tapeworms are a type of flatworm that self-fertilizes in thier proglottid segments.
