The Proud Pa Pa - A Call to Action

Turner is a proud Pa Pa. As of sometime yesterday, his snail had twins!
They are tiny little guys and/or girls with a lot of energy. They just creep all over the place with their bodies - which are about the size of the end of a pen - plugging them along the rock or the side of the tank. When he woke up this morning I used this new "surprise" as motivation to get him in the shower (can't go downstairs until we are clean, of course). When we make it down the stairs I point out the babies to him and the questions commence. Surprisingly, I did not have answers this time. So I'm posting this as a shout out to those of you with answers. Call Turner and let him know: why there are two, where they came from, how they move, what "those longish things" are, how the mommy had the babies, when were they born, how fast they will grow, what we should name them, will there be more, what do they eat, do they like milk, when will they die (we've been having some troubles in the fish department), and where's the daddy (not sure how to explain asexual without also explaining sex)?
