behavior cepaea babies on adults

[vallery]

I noticed how my tiny baby cepaeas were hanging out on the tops of the adults in my tanks. The adults were on the tops and the sides of my two terrariums. There were sometimes four little babies one each adult. I thought it was so cute. When I fed them the other day and watched I saw how the adults carrying the little babies went down to the bottom to eat their cucumber then the tiny babies slid off the adults onto the cucumber and ate as well. I didn't observe what happened after but later noticed the adults back around the tank sides and top or on a hosta leaf and tiny little babies back on the tops of the adults shells. I was great.

Hi Rosie,
I did post a picture in the pictuers catagory of one of the baby cepaea nemoralis on my finger if you can find it you can put it on your web site. Like I said also whenever I post any new snail photos I will let you know so you can decide whether or not you can use them on your site.
