 Well I now have 3 snail species thanks to ebay and an ID on here from Paul and Anjie. My Fulicas: My adults (sorry for the blurry one but I love it when you can see the "muscles" lol)   My babies  My adults and babies when I first got the babies!   I used to have quite a few Fulicas, my biggest was about 11cm shell length, but I lost quite a few for unknown reasons. The 2 adults I have now, I THINK are babies from the ones I had before. I'm not sure though. The babies I got off of ebay as my 2 wouldn't breed when I wanted them too lmao. The adults are about 10cm shell, the babies are now 3cm. My Dimidiata:    These were from Ebay. They're about 3cm in shell length and sooo active. ;D And my new rescued Marginata!! :    So there we go lol my snalies. My 2 Fulica actually laid eggs a few weeks after I'd bought the baby ones from ebay (typical huh?) and I kept 2 but sadly they didn't make it. But there's always another time with Fulicas!! As bad as bloomin rabbits lol. |

Hahah sounds about right for them!! Thanks I love all snalies, I used to "rescue" the garden ones my nan threw over the fence but had to stop when I needed the tanks for these guys lol. Come to think of it I have 1 spare again now.. garden snalies I'm coming to save you!! lol. Nan thinks that throwing them is nicer than squashing them o.O;; Not when they land on bloomin concrete!!! |

haha yeh i remember keeping garden snails, every time it rained i'd get a new one. they were fun, once i even managed to cross-breed cepaea hortensis and nemoralis, which i was proud of. i also had a big orange a. rufus, like really really orange. but now i put them all back to concentrate on my giant ones  |

Cheers He's moved about a cm in the night haha. I bet really, he's gone all round the tank but went back to the same spot just to annoy me I forgot to say their names! Haha. The 2 adult Fulicas are Willow and Kaiya, the babies are Ranon and Mims, the baby Dimidiata are called Westley and Buttercup and the Margie is BA Glen. Lets see if anyone can figure those out (Cept those who read the other thread and already know BA's name! lol) |

BA was the last three pics of the first post, but no he wasn't eating  He "sniffed" around it all lol and slimed all over it, but ate none. >=/ And still hasn't eaten anything. I hope he likes his buddy too I know I will lol. Hopefully a buddy will make a difference. He might realise he can come out and it is safe. |
