As they have both male and females sex organs yes it's possible, i know garden snails can do it, so I'm guessing most others can as well.

Hi,

depends on the type of snail.

Apple snails need a male and a female to breed but the females can store sperm so can still lay fertile eggs without a male. Have a look on www.applesnails.net for more information.
