Heyho, Tommy (My son) keeps Helix Aspersa and that other kind of stripey garden snails. (lol). One or the other has laid eggs. Any ideas which one from looking at the eggs?  And what do i do with them if they hatch lol! I'm gonna be overrun! But it'll be nice for him to see them hatch - he's only 6! Anjie,x. |

He is as pleased as punch. Trouble is..will he let me let them go lol. But there's always that option i suppose, with them being British snails hehe. If only it was that easy with Fulica ;D

It is probably the aspersa that have laid the eggs. They make fulica look under-sexed and they look about the right size.

those are almost certainly aspersa eggs. I used to keep them as a young kid and they breed countless time. Looks like aspersa eggs to me!
