I get margie eggs similar in size to those, but usually only one or two are laid, and they're not that big. What is their length in mm?
So where are all those eggs kept?

I have decided to give the propagator a go so the eggs are in there, if it doesn't work then back to old ways it is :-)
I will go measure one....

yes, i will take a pic of the snail that laid them against the eggs,
also you see that second pic i posted? the suturalis egg that is there is what the other snail layed that mated with the ovum, so they will be siblings, lol

What do you use to write on them? Obviously it doesn't harm the snail inside, that is a good idea when you have a lot.

yeah, just a marker pen
I do it because they were laid at different times and are diff species so colour coding allows me to know when abouts they will hatch, which ones and what species :-)
Black crosses and green dots are ovum x suturalis and won't hatch for another 3-4 weeks approx (if they do)
the rest are ovum, black dots and red dots should hatch in between 2-3 weeks and as you can see the ones that say 10 - 4 were laid on the 10th April so will be the last to hatch :-)
