My name is Lottie (Charlotte) and I am the proud owner of 17 Achatina Fulica land snails ❤️
I'm new to the forum and wanted to say hello! ☺️
My eldest snail is called Lottie (We originally had two and my boyfriend & I named them both after us haha ?), she's 5 years old and she has had a couple batches of eggs while I've owned her (I've had her since she was three). She has two snaily tank mates, Snowflake and Maggot. Maggot is a rodatzi and he (I do know snails are hermaphrodites but I like to give them genders) is a Rodatzi snail, he's about 1 year + 3 months old. Snowflake is a white jade and she is about 11 months to a year. I know they're smaller than Lottie but I couldn't leave her alone in her tank after Devon died ? He was 11 years old and he was huge! I had him since he was 6 years old. RIP
Now, I have 14 other snails. I haven't named them properly yet as Lottie laid them in September and they hatched late September/ early October last year. Not all of them are Lottie's though! I have two baby albinos (Kiwi is the little one - she's about 6-7 months & the bigger one is Strawberry, she's about 8 1/2 months) Then, I have one with a funny shell colour (I've named him Dave and he's about 5 months old), and the rest are Lottie's! I haven't named any of her offspring yet, but I will do when they grow and get more distinguishable haha! I will post pictures of them all & my set up.
Foods they enjoy:
Snail mix (Strawberry & Plain)
Strawberry
Some love banana, but some hate it!
Lottie loves cherry tomatoes but I couldn't see any of the others eating them
Cucumber (They eat this like there's no tomorrow)
Potato peels (Was Devon's favourite!)
Lettuce
Corn on the cob (They love picking the corn off)
Carrot
I've tried them on a few other things but these are the things they'll only have! Fussy snails ?
I don't know how to post pictures lol, I'm using an iPhone 5c ?
