Hi,
I know that cepaea hortensis and cepaea nemoralis can interbreed. I keep both of mine in separate tanks, I was wondering though, if some of my nemoralis are interbreed with the hortensis can the nemoralis in their own tank end up having hortensis babies? Does it really matter if I keep them separate. ?
