I got babies for Christmas!!

[snailboat]

Well, I had three snails.  But apparently I missed some eggs somehow, and today I woke up and found lots of babies!! :-)  A present from my snailies!

I swear I just checked for eggs, too.  I think it was five days ago.  My theory is that my snails didn't want to lay their eggs because I didn't have enough substrate, so they were close to hatching when they were laid.  When I made big piles of substrate, the babies appeared in those piles just a few days later!

Anyway, babies! :-)











It's really hard to get good pictures of them because they're so tiny!  They're adorable, though.

Congrats on your Snaily Xmas present, I got back a few weeks ago to find that the Cepaea hortensis and Cepaea nemoralis had been busy and left me a load of eggs that were well hidden n had hatched. Thankfully they a Native here so most of them will be released when the weather is warmer in the spring.

There great to watch n the Rug rats love watching them grow.

I didn't get any babies, but I did get a surprise batch on the 21st! I wonder if it's a snail's way of saying merry christmas or if I just got lucky?
