I recently got some achatina fulica babies, which are from rodatzi parents. Just wondering, what are the chances they'll be rodatzi? They're about a month or so old now, I think, and their shells are nearly 2cm long Here is a picture of one of them. His shell is speckled and has a slight orangey pinkish tinge to it in places - although not all of them have this. Some of the others have fewer speckles than this one. He probably has the most out of all of them. There is one baby who is a lot smaller than the others with hardly any speckles, although that could be due to his slower growth... Would anyone be able to tell if they will be white shelled or not? Or is it too early? Thanks

the black speckles are just the insides. by that size in normal fulica i think the shell would be beige with darker brown stripes, so I think that snail is a rodatzi kind regards Mike

right here goes. This is a coupla pics of Speed Racer, the one I was thinkin may be a rodatzi. He cute! Here he is with his sister Trixie, who started out looking like a rodatzi with a dark red shell with no markings but now she looks like a normal fulica juvie. Thanks for lookin! It'd be cool to hear what you think.

I think that by that size, if they were rodatzi, they would have a yellow shell. So I don't think they are, sorry.
