Short story of my biggest pet - achatina achatina: I bought it in Jan 2012 aged 4-5 months with a big and bright white scar on its shell. Previous owner couldn't say where and why the snail got its scar...   In some time I noticed it was getting more transparent!  For now the scar is almost gone!! Sounds like a miracle but still it is like this right now:  Here is my second tiger, BTW))) also cuirous and beautiful. Sorry, this photo was made with a flash:  The visual part of the scar left on the shell:  Tried to size it - the shell is almost 10 sm.  |

Megalobulimus oblongus Love these snails....though now they are sleeping too much but still they are beautiful and very unusual!!! )))))) Unfortunately, they were born in nature so I don't have much hope for babies )))))    |

Gorgeous snails! I really like your snail corner, as well.
Lovely story about healing the scar - with better conditions (moisture, calcium), I'm not surprised it happened.
I don't think I've seen Limicolaria before, they are beautiful!

Beautiful snails! I got Limicolarias yesterday, athough L. numudica and not flammea (does anyone know how to tell the different species of Limicolaria apart?).
