All the very best ( and i agree with Sarah lol, once in a while ) Ade I agree only time will tell with them, I should be able to identify them when they are large enough, I would be amazed if they were stuhlmanni though.

Hi everyone, ok i have three which have started to hatch, so heres hoping, if they do happen to be stuhlmanni i will have some for sale when they are of the correct size to release. obviously i will be keeping four or more back to repopulate.okay since this happened i have around 7 which are hatching and looking good All the very best Ade

yup mine are now roaming the plains quite happily, shame they cant be identified at an early age, it would make it all so much easier .

Hey guys ........ I got 10 eggs from theverminator on ebay and 3 of them have hatched today! They are so beautiful i love them.
I only know about fulicas and limis so can someone tell me ........... why would these not to stuhlmanni? and whats the difference between these and immacs?
I got my 2 jade white snails from the same guy and because i put a link to his shop on a website, he sent me these eggs as a thank you with a note to say what they were, which i thought was really nice!!!!
Looks like we're in-laws now! haha! xxx

Achatina stuhlmanni are a species found in Uganda, that, to my knowledge, arent kept in captivity, I dont know if any species found in Uganda are?
A few years ago some dark shelled immaculata where misidentified and sold as stuhlmanni, and "ugandan pink lipped snails", but like other immacs had a purplish/pink columella, while stuhlmanni has a blueish-white columella like fulica. Ive asked someone about some ways to differentiate fulica from stuhlmanni, so hopefully they will be able to be identified when larger if they dont turn out to be immacs.
