What skin colour do baby Achatina immaculata usually have? is their skin colour much darker than the adults, and then I assume gets lighter as they grow? as most of my baby immacs, that are now a few weeks old, have much darker skin colour than any of my adults, more like fulica skin colour.

My baby-immaculata (that ones, that earlier where called Smithi) have had too this dark body-colour. It has lightened up while growing to an adult. It was than somehow brownish-creamy with brwonish-redish. Just inbetween the colour of lighter fulica-bodies and creamy-skinned immaculata.

This is what my -what-were-smithii babies were like and this is what they're like now (the stripe has actually gotten darker but this is the best pic I can find lol)

Thanks for your replies, so my baby snails are probably from ones that were called smithii (as i wasnt sure which immac(s) laid the eggs)
