Meet Morph!

[goose]

Well today has been a very exciting today because today arrived Morph my baby Megalobulimus oblongus. I won him in an Ebay auction and feel very lucky. I have been looking for captive bred megas for ages and this seller has been the only one offering any so far that I know of. He is enchanting, all baby snails are cute but he is especially so. He looks like a little old man with his moustache which he seems to use to feel his way around. He had eaten quite a bit of his 'packed lunch' on the way to me and seems to have quite an appetite as he has demolished a massive spinach leaf I took into work with me and now he is home is munching some cuttle. He is very active and friendly. Hopefully I will be able to find a friend for him!

Anway enough drivelling here are some pics and I must go and do some washing up instead of staring at him all evening!

Thanks for all your comments. I have been away from this forum for a while and it is so nice to come back to such a friendly community! Mike - his shell is 2.5 cm so pretty diddy though they lay pretty big eggs to start with I gather!

Hi Goose.

Nice to see you back!

I have 5 of these guys, they fascinate me with their 'fronds' and the way they use them to feel around.
I never tire of watching them!

Hi Sally, thank you and its very nice to be back! Yes those fronds are absolutely amazing, really mobile. Hopefully I have fixed the broken picture links. He is a very active snail and his appetite certainly hasn't diminished!

He is so lovely. I would love to have a snail like him one day!
