I just noticed he's listed them as 'albino jades' and now I think about it the pics of the babies do look an awful lot like Jadatzis!!!  So I messaged him asking what exactly they are, if they are Jadatzi I really hope he'll cancel my bid!! So looks like I'm still searching for my White Jade Fulica after all!!!  |

I did think that after but I'm unsure as to whether two jades could produce jadatzi babies. I would recommend either Bristol Inverts or bugz2go, they both have jades in stock. |

I think you get Jadatzis by breeding White Jades to Rodatzi if they are both dark shelled and white footed parents. My baby Jades were really pale at first but coloured up gradually. Mind you they are pricey and will be tiny at that age. I would go for a bigger one at that price. Less of a worry too.

Sorry I meant if both parents were dark shelled and white footed the babies would be too. Jadatzi were making a big price on ebay a while ago.

I got 6 Jadatzi babies recently and they were all quite cheap, jadatzi are 2-a-penny at the mo and at cheap prices, but hardly a white jade to be found!! not really complaining though as I do love my Jadatzis!!! <3 In the pic their shell is very yellow and quite jadatzi looking, the babies have grown since the pic was taken and should be brown by now as he says they are as big as a 50p, so I messaged him asking if their shell has started to brown. If so I'll have to continue buying them, but if they do turn out to be Jadatzis I'll try from Bristol inverts! |

I would disagree, they have the flame pattern, something that the rodatzi shell never develops.
All Achatina fulica with a white body tends to be yellow until they reach about 1.5cm in size, at 2cm the banding becomes more obvious.

That's really interesting, I did notice that the bigger one got stripes first and the smaller ones took longer
