Katie, I'm so sorry for your loss. Little Sprout will always have a place in your heart.
Rest in peace, Sprout.

RIP x
Do you think it had anything to do with her not growing any more?

I'm not sure, one of my others died last year, and he also stopped growing early. I'd also heard that Albino's don't have as long a life span as other, normal skinned snails, although i'm unsure on how true this is ? x

It used to be true, due to inbreeding in China. But new lines were added and that's gone some way to solving the problem. It's not unheard of, but I think it's not as common as it used to be x
