I have just found 5 eggs in my choc swirrell snails tank. They are quite big (certainly bigger than I would expect from small snails). Has anyone bred these before??? Just had a chat with Arno and I am going to leave the eggs where they are (buried in sphagnum moss) and see what happens  Brian. ;D |

Congratulations and good luck !!! I really like the parents, they're so cute! ;D Maybe I could have some of them, once my parents know my room is full of space for new snailies ;D. That's going to take a while.  How big does a tank got to be for 5 of these snails? Greetings, Ellen (PS I'm sorry for my English, if I made any mistakes.) |

not very big as they are only small snails. A simple plastic storage tub is more than sufficient.
