Apologies to all. I typed baby 'slugs', when I should have said baby
*Snails* emerge out from the dead Snail carcass. A Mistake sorry.

Still won't ever happen and so still a stupid story. Snails lay eggs and
as these require a couple of weeks to develop *outside* the parent's
body, usually in the soil, it is impossible for them to emerge from a
snail carcass.

It's actually less stupid with slugs! Many are scavengers, and will
eat carrion, so it isn't unlikely that a dead snail will have a few
small slugs attached.
