Do you want me to sit in the corner and rust, or just fall apart where I'm standing?

I'd like to know this too, cos I can't tell my dimidiata apart lol. Iredalei are different in size so easy, and 1 of fulica has a hole so easy, otherwise they look the same too.

Nail varnish is fine as long as it does not go near the skin of the snail..once its dried its harmless but if anyone is worried buy the stuff sold to children as its been formulated with nail chewing kids in mind in its testing stage..Linda

Thats a very good point. I can tell mine apart at the mo (slight size difference, haha) but if I got anymore I might just do that.

my iradelei are practically impossible to identify, so maybe i'll try the nail varnish in different colours.

fenix, cupid, psyche, misti, rex, kasper, oceana, prue, phoebe, piper, coco, william, theodore, aurora, freddie, hermia, balthazar, saladin III, archie, isis, sita, gabriel.

mike

Wow some fab names there Mike I have marked most of my snails now. They sport either a fashionable silver or a groovy lilac blob The tiger babies aren't yet. But at an average of £2 for a bottle..... if you want seperate colours for each one.......  lmao. I only have 2 of each species, and 3 tigers so easy for me lol. Nat  |
