Does anyone know where I can get some Helix aspersa maxima? - I've heard you can get albino ones which would be totally awesome, but happy with normals Thanks guys!

It's quite cold here, particularly in the mornings brrrr! Had to up grade their heat mat as temps have been so low lately, but they're much happier now they're warm again, keep wishing I could live in their tank and be warm too lol. Hope you are ok and are not suffering from the cold too much!

These are still here, but weather is getting cold now so this will probably be the last 'bump' of the year!

Aww thank you I'm glad to hear they're doing well and that you're happy with them Yeah they have really nice shell colours! Actually never expected their shells to be so pretty! They're quite easy to care for, if you can keep tigers or margies then you can keep these guys x

Hehe thanks Muddydragon, didn't mean to soud rude or anything, I just care a lot for my snails, letting them go has been really tough, and I'd never want them to go to someone who didn't really care about them! I can see them being here for quite a while, and most likely will still have them by then lol

Price is massively under anyone else's, and am also accepting offers on them, so if they don't sell at around the above price then I'd rather they just stay with me I see value in them even if no one else does, and wouldn't want to give them to someone that only bought them just because I'd listed them at a cheap price!!! (Someone actually contacted me asking for a lower price so they could just sell them on!) So price is staying as it is, and sensible offers will be accepted. If they don't sell, they don't sell, and I won't lose any sleep over it. Sorry for the rant guys hehe! Had a bit too much wine lol

It's not been an easy decision to make, but it's for the best really, as I spend so much time, money and space on them and now it's got a little silly... I can't express how pained I am to see them go, but I think it's in their best interests to find new homes that can take better care of them than I can at present! I do hope one day to find myself in a position where I am able to take it up again, but that probably won't be for a very long while yet!

Quitting the hobby as don't have the space or funds to continue. I've rehomed almost all of my snails, but the following snails are still looking for homes: 2 x Archachatina marginata marginata - Approx 4cm shell - £12.50 each - £22 for the pair! + Free small packets of calcium carbonate & crushed oyster shell!
Will consider swaps for Helix pomatia CB or imported WC (obviously lol) and a good selection of Cepaea nemoralis & hortensis! P&P:
Next Day RMSD - £8PICTURES:PM if interested! Thanks!

That does look a lot like scarring, but surely the snail wouldn't have actually survived anything like that!! It would fit in with my partial-Luecistic piebald version, but I think the snail should still be white, and (its hard to tell from the pic) I think the flesh is normal colour?? Very interesting, thanks for sending me that! And please let me know if you find anything else out!

I know some people do make these spelling mistakes with names and such, however they could know the correct way to spell it but simply be in a rush when writing posts as I often am, and I would hate to be the one to lay critisium to someone else’s grammer or spelling, I’m sure if it was important to them that it was spelt correctly they would bother to look it up themselves or put more time into writing it out. Spellings for me aren’t important, as long as it’s readable anyway. For instance – When I handwrite: ‘grevillei’ Computer: ‘Grevillei’ - Just For The Fact I Love Using My Caps Key Phone: ‘Grevillea’ or sometimes ‘grevillie’ I’m not bothered if people think I can’t spoll or that my Gr’amme.r is incorrect, just as long as it’s readable. If it were something official of course I would put more effort in, but for a causal-chat type forum I don’t think it’s nessersey for me to go over my posts (or anyone else’s) and correct all the silly mistakes in them, most people have a lot more going on in their lives to worry about perfecting every single word or sentence in causal posts that’s all, but I’m sure when writing something that mattered they would, as I would, make sure spelling and grammer was correct.

I've seen various Ovums with a pure 'coffee' coloured skin, there are lots of different shades of 'normal' flesh even within the same species, a couple of years ago I even saw first hand what I can only describe as a odd pale-green fleshed Reticulata, normal fleshed retics have light bodies with much darker heads, there are so many colours and variants, it's very difficult to explain them all. It's a shame we can't know for sure though...

Of course I do, partly out of habit, partly because my phone has now started auto-correcting non capital Latin versions to my version and its easier to let the phone do it rather than edit it all the time, and some times I do it because I personally have started to like it being in capitals and surely no one else would be bothered if I wrote 'like this' or 'LiKe ThAt' as that's simply up to me how I write it and they can write it how they wish As I said, this is only a forum, not some scientific paper, so what does it matter whether we say Fulica or fulica here when it is only casual talk?

Most of my normal coloured margies have a dark stripe, so I have thought about maybe a lightening gene, hence why they are all warm-cream not white and why the stripe is still visible, but never heard of a lighting gene before, I also thought that maybe somehow the pigments in the head-stripe were for some reason very easy for Luecistic gene to colour, hence why it's an entire marking rather than just spots, but never seen any example of this in any other creature before so not sure how reliable that explanation would be

My snails don't have individual names, so all of my albino ovum's names are 'Archachatina Marginata Ovum Albino'. It would be too hard to give my snails individual names, so I name by species, variant and colour, and that becomes their 'pet name', I don't write it as if it were in any way Latin, but just simply as their name, like 'Achatina Achatina' the same way as if their names were 'Davie Jones' or 'Peachy Pear'

I write both in capital letters because I'm simply writing their names, and I've always been taught names should begin with capitals. If I was writing some sort of official paper on them I would of course write the proper latin version (Achatina fulica), but while I'm only writing it in a non-official way I think it's fine as they don't have non-latin versions of the names that I could use instead hehe! ;D

I agree Kevin. If they turned out to be Fulica I'd be very shocked, I'm sure they're Immacs
