New here and needing help

[Zoe]

Hi,

I found this forum looking for help.

But first let me introduce myself, my name is Zoe and I'm from Valenciennes, France.

I'm the proud owner of three beautiful Archachatina Marginata. I love them to bits.

So here is what happened, on Saturday a blister appeared on one of my girls (I know they are both but I call them "my girls" anyway). I try not to worried and hoped that it would just disappear.
I was very wrong, the day after all three of them had horrible translucent blisters on their bodies.

I've changed nothing to their environment same type of substrate, same food (organic).

The blisters heal "deflate" and then appear somewhere else, always on the body not on the shell.



Please can somebody help me. I'm very very worried.

Thank you !

Zoe

Hi,

Snails still alive but haven't been eating for 12 days.

Oh my... I never seem something like this and don't really know what to think about...
I will ask my friends around, I am also worried, they are not eating - it always means something really wrong... I keep my finger crossed and I run to ask people about it >;00

Poor girl. I have no idea, but I'm guessing an infection of some kind. I hope you will find some good answers on here from someone! I do not have achatinas, so I am not familiar with them. Although, one of my snails had a small thing like this once after mating, but it quickly went away.

I posted photo and info on one of snail groups I am in and it seems like they have same point of view as me - it looks like allergic reaction or something what caused body fluids getter in that tissue >;00
maybe something what already was in but before it never caused so much distress to their immune system and now it really reacts?
