New baby snail :D

[secretlyazombie]

He's an albino jade, i've called him Beans
I'm keeping him separate for now as i'm worried he'll get crushed but hopefully he will grow quite quickly..





My rodatzi laid eggs yesterday but he hasn't been with another fulica snail since may.. is it likely they are infertile? About five of the (roughly) thirty were squidgy. I'd like to hatch a few for the experience, most I froze but twelve i've put in a pot. I spray them with room temp water (should I use warmer water?) twice a day. Anything else I should be doing? They are buried just beneath the surface too, is this right?
Thanks for help!

Awww bless him, such a cute little thing!

It sounds like you're doing the rights things for the eggs. They don't need that much in the end, humidity and protection. And warmth of course for GALSs. Maybe keep them in a slightly warmer place? It's been more than 15 years since I had fulicas so I don't remember the details!

Thanks for the reply
I'm worried it's not warm enough for them.. I do have a small heat mat not in use but I don't want them to be too hot..

Your snails are very beautiful.

It's likely that they'll hatch. Snails can keep sperm in their body for a very long time.

EDIT: Oh my god I just saw the baby, I couldn't find him before! He's so cute!

Great! Thank you, really hope atleast one does hatch,
Haha, I keep going to check on him and I panic because I can't find him! He's so small and he buries himself..
