The snails in the pics below are the baby tigers I got from Lottie. Can anyone tell me if their shells patterns will stay like that (plain and strips around the end) or they will change please? It's just because other tigers I have got don't have plain shell patterns like that and am curious to know. Thanks. edit: Just wonder if they will turn out like the pic below when they grow bigger?

The tigers I got last autumn from Nat (Nat got them from Paul) are too not developing stripes till now. And I know from others having gotten tigerbabies from Arno that those too needed quite a while until they developed stripes. I have one wildcaught who has only stripes in his last whorl. So I wouldn´t worry at all. Quite normal...thinks me.

Thanks Teresa & Gabi
I suppose I am worrying just because I have never have a tiger baby before and don't know what to expect. I am worrying that I have done something wrong to make their shells like that. Silly I know but these babies are totally different from the adults I have got especially they come out when I open the lids etc, not like the adults one so laid back if you know what I mean.
Whether they have got lots of strips or not, they are nice snails and I love them whatever they look like anyway. ;D

felix did you get your baby tigers recently? i got mine from lotta april they look just like yours but mine are very very very shy and only come out of hiding when i pick them out spray them and put them on food they have nibble for 5 seconds then go off and bury themselves so i have been a little worried what conditions are you using?
