[/img] www.copigeonbase.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/snail/Picture 015.jpg[/img] Thats 1 of my juveniles, just wondering how he compares. Em,[/quote] I think if all fulica's were like that they would be more popular. Both environmental and genetic factors will play a part in how a shell looks.Not only coloring but also shape in some occasions.

So much variety across fulica, are albino's heard of? Shell/body? If so anyone have any? I know its the dull species but perhaps thats undeserved.

there are albino fulica but you would be very lucky to find some.
i have a variant called rodatzii which apparently has an albino shell, but it is more yellow

Can A. Fulica have a white shell and thin dark stripes running along the shell? I saw these in my local petshop but i was unsure what they were so i presumed fulica and left them

were the stripes spiral or radial? how widely spaced were the stripes? what was the skin colour like?

Post by eric2 on Sept 3, 2005 9:39:50 GMT
i have n idea about spiral or radial the stripes were about half a cm apart and all the snails were in their shells

trying buying one and taking a picture of it or tell the shop keeper you need to take a picture because you don't know if the person your buying for wants one :-)
