identification needed

[Kevin]

Identification is needed on these snails, though I understand it may be difficult cause' they are only small, they are either immaculata or reticulata, cause' I reserved both and they have been mixed up



Thanks

If its definatly 1 of the 2 then I say immacs, unless reti's skin changes colour as they grow. Retis have dark heads though.

I thought that, all my retic's have dark head's, but they are all larger than these ones, I didnt know if they're skin colour was variable or not.

Then, if all reticulata have darker heads, then they must all be immaculata in this picture, if they are one or the other..

[Kevin]

Here are the other snails that I need to identify, they are either reticulata or immaculata

Snail1


Snail2


Snail3


Snail4


Snail5

[eric2]

Haven't a clue with the baby stripy one. The rest I think reti's. But without seeing better pics its hard to tell.

I didnt take the pics, the snails arent with me yet, the person asked me to post these pics in the hope of identifying them one from the other.

Personally I think all the ones in the first picture are probably the immac's, and out of all the single ones all, except 3 and 11 are retic's, I thought 3/11 may have also been striped immaculata? but wasnt sure.

All the single ones look like reticulata to me........

What do you think the 8 together in the first picture are?

[melly]

in total 8 reticulata and 12 immaculata would have to be immaculata but 4 snails (than hour I do not know if they are reticulata or immaculata I have given them to a friend disposed to give again them to me if I had mistaken a lot I close inhabit to house mine) hour I would have to identify 8 immaculata and 4 at least reticulata that I must send tomorrow to kevin

[melly]

is possible...

babies in group: immaculata


snail 1:reticulata
snail 2:reticulata
snail 3:immaculata
snail 4:reticulata
snail 5:reticulata
snail 6:reticulata
snail 7:immaculata
snail 8:immaculata
snail 9:reticulata
snail 10:immaculata
snail 11:immaculata

?


if I control the head and is clear immaculata and black is reticulata,right?

[melly]

So, i have controlled the heads:

babies in group: all clear head


snail 1:black head
snail 2:black head
snail 3:black head
snail 4:clear head
snail 5:black head
snail 6:black head
snail 7:black head
snail 8:black head
snail 9:black head
snail 10:black head
snail 11:clear head

I think that may be the best way to tell in this case

[melly]

in conclusion they are:

-babies in group: 8 immaculata
-the singles photos: 9 reticulata and 2 immaculata

[glow=red,2,300]RIGHT?[/glow]
