lol. lots. theirs lots of nice capaeas if you know where to look : ) the reason I have so many variations is because I have several hot spots where i like to collect. certain colours are more common in certain areas, sometimes even if the 2 areas are only a few minuits walk from each other : )

Vallery Hi Vallery, Glad you noticed the difference between the 6th snail and the 7th snail... many dont notice the difference untill its pointed out to them ;D the 7th snail down is an albino shelled. Generaly I reffer to the 6th snail as a "striped albino" shelled. Suprisingly these are even more uncommon than the "plain" albino shelled ;D

Hi Shaydee , Do you have any old shots because that would be fine. Or hopefully you will get a new camera soon. Hoping this thread will continue going anyway. Do you have a cell phone with a camera they take some pretty good shots. But any old shots would be great. vallery

snailsrule18, unfortunately I have no pictures of him now because I released that snail when the weather became favourable. That snail and a few of his siblings hatched in the winter (I was sick for a few weeks and wasn't inspecting tanks for eggs as thoroughly as usual!)
I just got my camera back so I should be able to add mine to the thread soon - I took them outside for some sun and fresh air recently and now they are very frisky (I've seen 3 pairs mating just this evening!!) so I don't think I want to disturb them for a bit ;D
