This monstrous snail is the largest snail in the Pacific Northwest region, its shell can reach up to 6 inches in height, Boothe said. These guys are highly carnivorous and feed on various invertebrates.
Boothe said the pairing of tritons occurs from spring to the end of July. After mating, the female triton will lay the eggs on a vertical surface. The eggs are placed in rectangular capsules in a spiral pattern.
Tritons will brood their eggs for a period of eight to nine weeks, until all are hatched to protect them from being eaten by other invertebrates, Boothe said. The eggs, or 'sea corn,' are laid one by one in an ever-widening circle.
