What species are These Snails?

[Kevin]

Im sure many of you has seen this pic now, but these snails I am soon to be receiving from Annelie are still unidentified, I would like to know what species they are



to me, they look a bit like Archachatina buylaerti, pictured below



The shell and stripe on the body, and body colour looks similar

[Paul]

Again, they look like margies to me, I have similar looking margies that aren't colourful but who knows. Also, they have different shades of body on each side, and mine also has this. But, that could be common among Archachatina.

I remember discussing this with Annelie, we need to see how big they grow to, that would help immensely.

Thanks, I'll certainly let you know how big they grow

paul: Don't know exacly how much they've grown until now, but about a month ago or so until now the left one has grown the a little bit darker thicker looking shell. Besides that they haven't grown very much, they grow much slower than my margies (though the margies are babies if that matters..?)

hmm..they do look a lot like buylaerti except the shell is slightly darker.

umm...is buylaerti and puylaepti the same?

[Paul]

I've been wondering the same thing. But the Buylaerti pics look like the ones above, but the puylaepti one I have seen is albino from Yuri's site.

probably a mis-spelling...
