my second batch of eggs hatched two weeks ago , i was cleaning them out last night and theres one little baby who apart from his antennae is albino the others all have dark little bodies and have had from birth , anyone know if he will stay this way or will he darken up ? they are hard to photograph being only the size of a small pea , but his shell seems much lighter than the others and lacks anything much in the way of stripes

Have you cross bred accidentally?

definitely not , the tigers only live with their own kind and always have so not a chance of that

it could stay that way, albino tiger snails arent unheard of, Ive seen pictures of both wild caught and captive bred ones.

I had one pale boy out of my batch, swore he was going to be silvery, but he darkened up - in fact I think he ended up darker than the others.
