You can see how much shell damage this snail had, but in just a short time he has replaced all the broken bit and grown more besides!!  Val  |

Wow - is that your albino fulica Val? He looks as if he is doing very well ;D Mine took a while to settle in but is now fat as butter very active and has discovered what cuttle is! She has about 3-4 cm new growth. It is amazing how fast they put on new shell.

It looks fantastic !! Walking with my dog ten days ago I kicked an Helix aspersa  and broke half part of its shell. Similar to the one of the photo. I took it with me and it is improving too but the shell is not becoming to round but like a hump. I don't know if later it will improve but at least he is happy eating everything I give him. ;D |

Wow, I didn't know snails could eat cheese, I'll definetely give that a go! Any particular kind of cheese, or will good old cheddar do? Lovely looking snail by the way! ;D |

Sorry to drag up an old thread.......
One of my sons snails has a hole in the end of its shell on the top part, should I leave it or have a go at repairing it?
Its been spending more time tucked right inside the shell but seems ok otherwise, its moving about and eating but you can see the body in the shell gap.
