Introducing the second albino eggs of the year!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Found them this afternoon and guess what, there are SEVEN of them ;D ;D The camera has made them look white but actually they are bright yellow, I'M GONNA BE A GRANNY!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!! I am going to knit them little hats with two holes in the top for their eye stalks. I have taken them out (very carefully) and put them in a little tub inside a small heated tank. How long till they hatch?? I want to see my bubbas, these are my first ever bubbas.

give them up to 2 months, after that i doubt they would hatch,

congrats ;D won't be needing any babies off me then ;D

[section8angel]

Well done!! It MUST be margie mating season lol.

You can always crack them open after 2 months and see. Hopefully you wont have to though

Good luck! ;D

In the nicest possible way, I hope not!!! I am hoping to have 7 of my own. I reckon one of the snails was already 'pregnant' when I got it, what do you think?? I haven't seen mine mating or even interested in each other?

[Arno]

They probably were and its your luck they laid the eggs with you,7 is the lucky Margie number ;D

[Val]

[maidmarion]

good luck with the eggs!!! ;D

[Val]

Well...............I had a little peek ;D The eggs look less yellow and they have some orangey bits on the shell, not sure what this is, does that sound good or bad??? Also..................I am sure I heard one go POP!!! What does that mean!!! I have a sneaking feeling that it 'aint good Oh forgot to say, it has been almost 4 weeks now.

Val

[sezzy5889]

the orangy spots sound like the moss or coir (whatever you keep them in) staining them, the pop i'm afraid isn't good in most cases, its caused by the dramatic change in temp when you take the lid of the tank or take them out they are cracking, but if there is no crack visible then you have escaped it and they should be fine :-)

[sezzy5889]

oh and one of my batches took just over 4 weeks, give them 5 or 6 then crack one open if you feel

[Val]

Yep. will do that. I thought the popping noise was an egg hatching out ;D ;D
