Newborn snail.

So, lately I keep forgetting to egg check. Today I found a newborn on the glass. He can’t be more then a day or two old. After seeing him I did and egg check and found that there were indeed a lot of eggs, but no others had hatched, so I removed them. The newbie is so cute though:D . I baby proofed the tank by rapping the lid in plastic rap. I also hooked up my spare air hose (from the air bubbler for my fish tank) so they have plenty of air flow even though the lid is rapped. I would have let them all hatch, but I don’t have room for more right now, and we might be moving soon. At least I have one baby to brighten up the tank! Pics of him coming soon.

What'll you name him?

I’m going back and forth between Micah and mocha freeze.

I intentionally left one egg in there with them (it appeared to be close to hatching), so if that one hatches too I will name the first one mocha, and the second one freeze.

Here he is!


Btw, sorry it’s so blurry, I had to zoom in a lot cause he’s so incredibly tiny.

Oh my gosh!!!!!! He's so cute!!!! Take pictures when he develops stripes!!! My hatchlings are brown and striped now.

infinitesimal decibel (I.D. for short) is his official name.

If the other egg hatches I'll name it colossal.

Here’s some better pics of him. He is incredibly adorable. And tiny! He so so very little. It makes him all the cuter.

I am a little bit concerned, I haven’t seen him eat yet. He is usually just sitting near the top of the container. Is this normal for a newborn?
