we have discussed this before i cant remember the outcome though but i think yes they should be because albinoism is caused by a recessive alle(dont think it is spelt right)

No, that is not a definitiv thing it´s only a possibility.  But chances are way bigger if the snails who mated have been both albinos. |

Erm....I don't know much about margies....do they only lay like 5 eggs???

Post by sezzy5889 on Nov 30, 2005 20:46:26 GMT
No, they can lay quite a lot, like 30! but like all snails sometimes they only lay a few.

Wow that's way less than fulica! If only they lay the same amount as they do....then you may have loads of albino snails!
