Help with snails

Hey for some context in January there was a terrarium sale at my local garden and i decided to purchase one. About a month or too i noticed there was a small snail inside. I did research and i think it’s a glass onion snail. We put in lettuce daily and he ate it. At the start of June we saw 2 snails in there and we continued feeding like normal. Today i check in on them and noticed that there was a ton of snail babies on the lettuce. Its a small terrarium and I don’t know what to do or what they are.

This is the most important precaution with snails. If you don't monitor the ground for clutches, you'll get hundreds even if you had one before. Snails are hermaphrodites and don't require a partner.
