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

Ceiron is this one snail we are looking at or several? Has the shell always looked like that or was it striped all over at one time?

Ceiron this is a long shot but is there any chance that these are not 'pure' tigers but are in fact crossbred?? Just a thought.

I doubt it very much, if it was down to the species, all of our babies would be like it. Ceiron how big are they now? I think the last lot of tiger babies were a sub species, they are alot lighter coloured than these, Anjie I think said. But these are 'pwopper' tigers ;D

Annelies was from Catherine too. I assume the same batch, he looks the same size, but I don't know.

If they measure 4cm they couldn't have come from the same batch as mine and Nats. Mine measure about 1.5cm or just over.

Mine are 2.2cm at the moment, Ceiron measure them, size could be a factor? If he needs more nutrional foods or something I dunno. The going white, to me would show somethings missing in diet

Can't be other than cuties ;D It's much easier with just taking photos in hands of them than measuring. If I measure him now, I bet he would end up 5 cm or something ;D
