NO!NO!NOOO!!!!!!

[kanin]

My aspersa laid ca 20 eggs some weeks ago and I saved 4 now they've hatched and I got 2 babies.
atleast that was what I believed..
I look in the european tank and what do i find: Babies! Everywhere!
I've removed all that I could find and placed in a nursery container with the two I volunterely hatched. Now I have 50+ of baby snails!!
Could an aspersa really produce this many eggs? the other species in that tank are cepeas and pomatias and from the look of how the babies I know are spersa and the new mystery babies compared to cepea babies and they all do look alike. They could be cepea but they could just aswell be aspersa!
What will I do with 50 something aspersas?!?!

To understand my concern aspersas are not native to sweden so I can't release them and there's no general interest in this species so the options i'm left with is either: keeping all of them, killing all of them(all out of question) or sending them all to the UK..

Well,well.. they are cute so I might aswell enjoy them for now and deal with this later...

You may be able to find people on here that will be willing to take some, or try a rescue centre that you know you can trust. I'm sure their are probably plenty of people here who live in places where these snails are not native, and are perhaps not aloud to keep GALS?

Hope this helps

Aspersas can lay up to 80 or so eggs in a clutch. Mine has laid about 40 or 50 at a time (none hatched, though).

I don't have any advice for what to do with them all, but good luck with your little babies!

[lizzie97444]

any chance of sending some to Korea?
oh well.. don't think so.
It'll be great if u can...!
But please don't kill those little aspersas!
I bet they're super cute!!!!!
LUCKYLUCKYLUCKY!
I love aspersas!

[kanin]

Yeah, I think they're all aspersa and I've desided to get someone on here to release them for me in the uk when time comes and they are big enough for being sent by postage.
I will of course not kill any of them, it was never an alternative. I can asure you that I would never harm anything or anyone.
lizzie I'm sorry but I'm not sure if i would be comfotable to send them all the way to asia, as far as i know it's a 4-5 day delivery time and I think that might be to much for them. Hope you will be able to obtain some in the future though. But altough have this in mind, it can be tricky if you get 67 surprise babies to deal with as i did..

[lizzie97444]

yeah
that rly would be a big surprise!!
But very cute!

[pingu5040]

That's a lot of snails. My aspersas only laid about 40 eggs total.

[timandneko]

Awe! Dont kill them. I'm sure someone here would enjoy one or two.
Do you think you could ship them to the USA (in michigan)??

[lee2211]

I would release some for you?
I know this great little place full of snails, and I'll be releasing my aspersas soon to so they could have some friends that know their way around

[aerliss]

if Kanin still needs to find something to do with them (this thread is over a year old but you never know) I'll happilly help release them.

[rosiesnail04]
