I found one in my garden and he's the first i've ever seen here. Are yours adults? I gave the one i found to my daughter and she's fallen in love with him, she's named him cole! How many do you have?

I've had several aspersas. They're wonderful little snails.

Do you guys find they spend alot of time at the top of whatever you keep them in? Cole now has a baby rodatzi as a friend. I'm snail sitting while she's on hols and cleaned them out and put in lots of diff foods for them to try. Cole (his nickname is now coco) didn't bother with the food/water or calium i put in went straight back up to lid where as the rodatzi (shennel, see why cole is nicknamed coco? lol) happily started munching on a bit of everything and has stayed on the bottom (she was at top alot as well) but now seems happy.

My aspersas have always like to climb up to the lid of their tank, or cling to the side of the tank up near the top.
