Too many snails?

[SOELEY]

Is it possible to have too many Great Pond Snails?

I seem to have loads and was just wondering. I have read about squashing them to feed the tadpoles, but I feel to cruel to do that

I did have a few Ramshorn Snails but not seen those for a while.

So is it possible to have too many?

My pond is 250 liter capacity.

the population will even out over time,

i have loads to the point where there are snails going round covered in egg chains from others as they provided a clear surface for them to lay on

Thanks for your reply, you have put my mind at rest. Though I do hope I don't get any more

.... So if your egg chain distribution is that extreme would you say their population has evened out?

Don't newts etc eat their egg chains? I have lots of Great Pond Snails but no egg chains so far this year but had lots this time last year before the newts and dragonfly larva arrived.
