I have a few questions about Rodatzi snails, i would prefer if they could be answered before tomorrow . . . if thats possible!
Are they smaller than White Jades and Fulica? Are they 'prettier' than normal ones? Do they sell quicker than commoner breeds of sales?
Thankyou evryone! ;]
PS: by prettier i mean cleaner, more 'attractive' (altough most snails are!).

Prettier is a matter of opinion - they can be striking. I'm not sure what you mean by cleaner - they track dirt around their home and poop halfway up the glass just like all other snails I haven't noticed them being any larger or smaller than normal fulicas/jades. As for selling them - they are less readily available than normal fulicas so the market is less glutted, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily any easier to sell. Also bear in mind that they are hatched as yellow-shelled but not all of them stay yellow as they grow - by 4 or 5 cm some of them will have reverted to ordinary-looking shells, even with two yellow-shelled parents. I wouldn't buy a pair with the express intent of breeding and selling the offspring, but I imagine if you had some that happened to breed you could probably find homes for some of the offspring.

Thankyou. I really don't intend to 'mill' (as i would put it) the snails. But as you say they would be easier to rehome them easier, which is how i should have put it, :] i already have 5 snails, and because they are younger, and don't have a very strong 'bond' as it may seem, i was hoping to get them a different companianship (sorry for the spelling ), also because Jades and Fulicas don't get rehomed as quickly, i supposed that these snails would be a little easier to keep. You basically answered all my questions - - now for my fate, my mother! "Please may i have some more snails?" lol. she'll probably bite my head off! thankyou again!
