Just checking my Limicolaria, and I looked from the bottom of they're tub and theres about 10-15 or so eggs thats burried at the bottom of they're substrate, my largest Limicolaria is only around 2-3cm shell length...Anyone know how long they take to hatch? I'm going to leave the eggs in there because they're burried right at the bottom of they're substrate (about 10cm deep) the eggs are about the size of fulica eggs, quite big considering the size of the snail that laid them (Im guessing my largest Limicolaria laid them, but cant be sure?) These are my Limicolaria-  |

It's O.K. me getting confused, I was wondering if they were achatina/archachatina, but of course they are totally different. ;D

Do you keep them the same way as Gals? I keep them in similar conditions to all my other snails, they have coco humous as a substrate, some moss, and are kept very humid, they havent got a water bowl though, when they're larger (they can get to 6.5cm shell size) I'll give them a shallow water bowl. At the moment they're tub isnt directly on a heatmat, but is near other heatmats in a warm room. |

Just feeding my Limicolaria, I spotted 4 tiny limicolaria in with them ;D they're only around 4mm at the most, Im not sure when they hatched, and I dont want to dig around they're substrate just in case I disturb any eggs hatching..I can see 2 batches of eggs through the side of they're tub, theres still at least 6-8 eggs that havent hatched yet.

   Theres an egg visable in the third picture, I think it had been pushed up from under the substrate by one of them, I partially reburried it Is there any left for me? *Praying really hard Kevin will say yes!* Ive had a few requests already, so hopefully enough of them hatch, grow and survive till they're old enough to send out...I'd like to keep a few of them myself. Hopefully there'll be enough for everyone who wants them though. oh yeah, hehe i didn't even remember, lol, but did he remember is the question, hmmm *mysterious look* I remembered ;D |
