Those two toned juvies dont look anything like mine. Mine both have two tones! Perhaps there's more to this than just three different varieties - maybe it's what you see is what you get *lol*
If you can get two different appearances in one batch, then maybe there's different juvie appearances in each batch, therefore no correct picture of what they will all look like.

Incidentally, I need to know who owns each picture else I can't use them in my website.
That is very much the case, but the two-tone one's stripes will converge into two-tone colour at some point in their development making them this "two-tone" variety we have identified. It just happens different for each baby.

Justin doesn't have two tone or stripes, but came out of the same batch as Lisa's. He's ginger (under the powderiness) all over, not as conker as "immacs" or the dark patches in two tones, but not as light as the light patches in two tones either. So wonder what he'd be classed as.

He'd still be classed as two-tone, he's just not old enough to develop the contrast. That only started in mine at about 4-5 cm. and it is different for each snail. If he was plain at birth it means his stripes were already dense.

He had one or two stripes when he came (not lots like most "dimis") and is now plain ginger. Lisa's two both have two tones already, and one is smaller than him. Maybe it's down to his health then.

So my snails are the same species and the same variant (two-toned0 the orange stripy ones are just a bit behind developing their adult markings? Well it just goes to show the huge variants doesnt it?
Poor little Justin, hope he starts eating properly for you soon.
