One of my albino retics keeps following my margie, everytime I open the box he's on top of the margie or following behind, he's about 2/3 months old and there isn't a big size difference, any ideas wht he's doing? all my snails at present are in the same tank as they are all less than 6 months old, they have plenty of space and he doesn't do it with any of the others, have separated them (put them at separate ends of the tank) but he still makes his way over to her. Just wondering whether he has some evil plan?

he probally just likes her, some of my snails pal up like that. I would not be surprised if when older they started trying to mate

What, like this? He got over his little crush after a while and found another retic to harass instead.

He's obsessed, she isn't as interested is always facing the opposite way, I was a little worried about it but feel better now hope he does just want to be friends, I was thinking it could be because she is also an albino but he won't have seen one other than retics before so maybe just wondering why she's the same but different, he had a brief encounter with the tigers earlier but soon went in search of her again.
just like the picture, he's even sleeping in a hole next to hers

its nothing to worry about, as long as hes not way bigger than her and squishing is imminent.
just realised, reminds me of a certain ham and my third oldest immac....

Good news then, he is smaller than her by about 2 cm, well worth asking

A tragic love affair, then, destined not to be. People should write songs about it.

I might just put them back in together, less likely to be bad singing epidemic
