Hi All, After my dissapointment yesterday with the tigers who ended up being Margies I thought some luck was due to me!! I bought 2 East African land snails and 5 west African snails from ebay which were delivered today. I thought West African snails were Margies, I am wrong?? Because they all look the same to me. Heres a picture I weould be gratefull if people could let me know their opinion.  Im sorry the piccy is small, I dont know how to make it bigger!! Doh!! |

sorry theyre all fulica. i think you should wait till next year, and you can buy snails from this forum, where it is much more reliable.

Yes I agree they are very pretty!! And they seem quite healthy too. Even though they have been bashed around the tank!! It amazes me how poorly some people package them!!

One tip, Always see photos of any snails before you buy them. As the others have said, if they are from ebay they are almost always fulica. They are nice fulica though  Nat  |
