Default baby snails

man I got baby snails coming out of my sand bed like crazy. There are two types, one with round shell and the other with longer shells. Since I'm moving I don't want to up set them.

I'm thinking to move the tank with the sand in it and some water. Do you think they will reproduce again after my move?

Cheers

Most people get a new sandbed after a move so they dont release harmful anoxic pockets in the sand bed, which could cause major ammonia/nitrate spikes. If you are really concerned about the snails, pick them all out and put them in a container then get a new SB. Also, if they are infact babies and not just little snails that do appear, then the adults should be somewhere right? There are boud to be a few on the rocks during the move so I wouldnt worry anyways.
