Hello everyone,
I open this debate because I am somewhat 'concerned about my Achatina ..
I do a little introduction.
setup:
bathtub with plastic grid at the center of the top, as the substrate .. peat about 20 cm, water bowl, bowl for food.
as I have been advised.
This achatina me and 'donated by a friend to Longarone and was more' or minus 2.5 cm in length from June to now has grown to arrive today at about 8 cm.
lot and ate very different .. including cuttlefish bone that has consumed much in recent months.
during the summer I put in balcony: More sun 'or less up to 9 and then shade.
given the heat that dried peat sprayed the turf every day in order to maintain a minimum of moisture 'once a week throughout rigiravo peat and sprayed the whole.
I noticed that as they went down the T, leaving less and less and ate less.
twenty days ago had (excuse the total lack of appropriate terms) a sort of veil at the end of the shell.
then I moved into his house house where we are from 23 to 28 degrees.
a horse displacement, in connection with the decrease of T I declined the spraying from daily to 2 times a week, always shake up the whole once a week. ate less and less
from 4-5 days does not eat more 'will not quit over' from the shell and is extremely withdrawn inside.
is totally inactive, the other day I moved and taken (it was buried) to shake up the turf and then I supported on the substrate. is still '. Real estate and withdrawn.
I do not have sufficient knowledge to understand if this thing is normal or not is fine, if it is seasonal or not.
you can give me a hand?
thank you very much .
