How long do turbo snails live?

[frankpayne32]

I just realized today that I've had my two turbo snails for over two years. Also, that I will be pretty bummed when they die. How long have you guys had your turbos? Does anyone know of an article that talks about their lifespan? Thanks!

That's good news.

You can keep track of which snail is which, what do you have a nano tank with 1 or 2 snails?

I thought most inverts only live about 2 years.

Well, as for myself, I have a 125 gallon, but I only have two turbo snails, so pretty easy to keep track of.

Shouldn't you be a little concerned about why they aren't reproducing over that period of time?

I didn't say they weren't. The young don't survive and grow up. Fish/coral food.

I have a couple turbos that are about five years old.
