What Does This Mean, snails?

I have snails (mostly MTS) in my two tanks and have observed interesting behaviors. From time to time, sometimes after water changes, I see my snails out on the glass by masses. What does this mean when the snails are out of the substrate and on the glass? Does this have something to do with the water quality? Can this possibly mean lack of O2 in the water or any other water issues? Just wondering ...

IDK that there'sny one reason... IME the snails come out at feeding time, they come out at lights out, they come out to breed, they come out just to move around... certain species of snails seem to like certain areas of my tank whereas other species like other areas (no clue why)...
