I have done a search on the Internet and on this website but can find nothing on this anywhere.
A year or so ago I breed my African snails. (The common ones in most pet shops.)
I hatched about 70 of them only one died, it just did not grow.
One of them had a very thick stalk.
She was only about a week old when I saw this.
On closer inspection with a magnifier I saw that she had about 3-5 pupils.
I expected her to die, but she is still alive now and as big and eggy as the two others I kept.
I have not breed from her as she is with her parents and siblings and I don't think it a good idea.
All I have been able to find out is in some sea thing, I have forgotten what it was, that it could be a lack of magnesium.
None of the others had anything wrong with them.
Any ideas what caused it and weather she will live as long as her siblings?
Needless to say she is called Three-Eyes!
Excuse bad spelling etc!
