Very nutritious

I tried to grow some hemp seed my self for my snails from a packet of health food seed selection :/ One of the neighbours told the police I had a greenhouse full of canabis, and the feds came round and ripped it up like grass and took the whole lot away to be examined :/ It was to late in the season to plant a fresh batch :/ Didnt even get a sorry :/

Pilvi (Cepaea hortensis) died today

Pilvi was really old and its shell was no longer in the best condition... For a long time it had behaved really oddly: spend a lot of time in shell, didn't move much and ate just a little. So death did not come as a surprise. Rest in peace my love<3

The smallest white jades shell is so horrible looking! I really dont know why it grows like that :< Shell size is now only about 5 cm long.
The tip of the shell for some reason is strangely growing upwards! Poor fellow is growing too slowly. The shell looks so weird! Just like
I dont give enough calcium or nutritious food. ALWAYS THERE IS CALCIUM AVAILABLE AND I GIVE DIFFERENT SORTS OF FOODS. What is wrong?

At the moment I own:

2 x Achatina fulica f. white jade
1 x Achatina fulica var. jadatzi f. construct
1 x Achatina fulica hamillei f. rodatzi
1 x Archachatina marginata ovum
5 x Cepaea hortensis
8 x Cepaea nemoralis (axoloa sent me some ;> 21.11.2011)
1 x a small mysterious snail (I found it from the moss that Axoloa sent me. It was umm... a stowaway)

In a few days I get a partner for my jadatzi! Hurray!

Then I own... 20 snails?!? Oh my God ;D

I try to add more pictures soon

My Cepaea hortensis layed eggs in 25.11 (Tumma and Vaalea), 2.12 (Karambola and Papaya) and in 13.11? (Tumma and Vaalea)!! : D

(Btw: I use google translator so .... Do not be surprised why the texts dont always make sense XD)

Hi Wivuli. Its certainly odd when one particular snail seems to have a less progressive growth to the rest in a collection. Allot of the time this can just be down to the snails genetics, in this case their wouldent realy be much you could do than to just be patient with it. In any case, is it definitly eating the cuttle fish your supplying it with? if it is then like I have already said, theirs not realy anything you can do. If its not eating the cuttlefish however, then you could get a dinner knife and just lightly scratch the cuttle fish over your snails food, so it sprincles like a powder to ensure that your little fellow is definitly consuming a fare dayly dossage of calcium. You could also sprincle calcium carbonate on their food, wich is a stronger concerntration of calcium (usualy between 96 and 99% pure), if you feel necessary to do so. I hope this helps

Congratulations on getting ahold of some new Jades by the way. I hope to see some new pictures apearing on your thread with these included real soon. Your photos are always fantastic

hope your enjoying the Capaea Nemoralis ;D These Ariana Arbusturum you sent me are certainly a very beautiful and interesting species, who considering are wild caughts are a great lovers of their cuttle fish
