Hullo, after great consideration, I've decided to start keeping snailies again! I have two and I'm pretty sure one at least carries albino genes as his shell is much lighter than my other. The darker one is a little older than the other, but there's still a noticeable colour difference when I look outside and see smaller snails.  As you can likely see, even under shade one is much lighter than the other. Still haven't thought of any names, if you could suggest any that would be great! PS: Sorry for huge image size, it would lose even more quality if I compressed it.  Edit: Snowball is named! (The albino) |

Now that my snailies are older, I have a few more pictures to put up. This time I tried to take it with a steady hand and I deliberately brought them outside to wake them up. Unfortunately, one of them stayed asleep for a bit due to the warmer weather coming in but Snowball seemed to like the attention!  Snowball slimin' along the lid top.   Comparison of shells.  Showing them both together~ |

I've always been content to call all snails Snaily. It worked out pretty well for me until I ended up with two pet snails, at which point I had to come up with another name :-)
