I have finally found 7 margie eggs in my tank ;D ;D ;D wish me luck in hatching them and by the way please could you NOT pm me, i don't want to be flooded with pms asking if they can have one because i don't know whether i will be keeping them myself, if i do get rid of any hatchlings i will advertise them on here when they're ready, thanks

Bubbies! Well done Sarah. Good luck ;D (And Mike lol)
Do you have any idea what margies they might be, or are all yours in together?

in the tank there are 1 albino suturalis, 3 albino ovum and 1 normal var. marginata so... 80% chance they could be albinos

well i had to move mine because they were on capillary matting and with 5 big margies in the tank they would deffinately get squished, i moved them carefully so that i didn't turn them over, like what you do with crocodile eggs.

Congrats Sarah and Mike I wonder if my big Brixtons will ever lay eggs....judging by how lazy they are, I doubt they'd have the energy to get their leg (or foot?) over!

LOL - argh - dont talk me into getting more snails! I've already got 4 planned, no more for me after that. Do you know how hard it is to resist albinos from that shop now I've seen your girlie?
Waaaah I'm gonna have to stop coming here, far too many pretty snails.

'cause they're too old and lazy. You need a young dolly bird like Izrina You've seen what it's done for Freddie lmfao. I'm sure Marlene wouldn't mind some of the action too? Rofl Well done @ more eggs too Sarah

They will Lisa - Out of all the Brixtons that have come and gone from my house - I HAVE ONLY JUST GOT MY FIRST SET OF BRIXTON MARGIE EGGS!!n And whether or not they will hatch is anyones business WHat is important Lisa is that you have given a good loving home to snails that have been dragged out of their native country, shipped to this cold damp place in cramped conditions, kept in baskets piled on top of each other, starved, been deprived of a simple thing such as water!! And basically treated like dirt until they are thrown into boiling water to be eaten!! THEY WILL reward you with eggs, i'm sure. OK, that was a bit deep lol. Anjie,x.

Do you know i've lost 4 of my eggs to this stupid thing that keeps happening, when i clean the snails out and have to remove the pot they are in, the first time when this happened i took them out of the tank and in about 10 seconds i heard this POP! POP! POP! POP! and they had popped and cracked, i think it has something to do with the dramatic and sudden change in temperature, but i wish i had known, now i have 10 left :-(

I know, it's very unusual, i always panic now when it's cleaning time, i quickly shove te pot into another tank, before it happens, lol Still a shame, they were my big yellow healthy looking ones as well.

Aww Anjie, thanks I went all soppy then, nearly got tears in me eyes *lol* It was you who saved them though - and I'm sure they'd say thank you if they could Sian, if I put Magenta in there, she'll get squished. Well, especially if Boycie's after being a sugar daddy *lol* Or Marlene, but we wont go there... I'm not really that fussed if we dont get eggs to be honest. I've got the big squishies, and one baby margie as well, and I just love margies in general My plan is to steal all the margies everyone has, starting with the Sherminator *muahahahaha* Then I'll start on the tigers...
