Indonesian Turbo Snail- Sick or Mating?

Today I decided to pick up some more snails- 3 Astrea, 3 Margarita, & 1 Turbo. He didn't have any Mexican Turbos so I got an Indonesian Turbo.

I drip acclimated them for 3 hours & then placed them on my Mag Float at the top so they could slowly go into the tank if they weren't completely acclimated yet.

I came home & noticed a white substance floating from my Mag Float every once in awhile. I looked closer & realized it's the turbo snail. It seems to squeeze it self, go back to normal, & 15-30 seconds later it'll squeeze itself again, shooting more of the substance into the tank.

Is it just shooting love juice or is there something wrong with it?

I couldn't find the info I was looking for so any input is appreciated.
 
yea ive seen my turbos do this. haha It could be love juice ive never seen any ill effects from it though in my tank. call my crazy but Ill usually just chuck my snails in my tank, the strong survive! a 3 hour drip acclimation for snails seems a bit much.
 
I thought it was 2 hours minimum for all inverts so I put them in a bucket & drip lined them. Went to the store with the G/F, ate, & played a video game. Hardest 3 hour acclimation I've ever done. :P

It doesn't seem to have done anything bad. If it's love juice it'll just be coral food so it works for me.
