LOL I know they are snails... ;D
Even the second pic? They look different from my baby fulcias, but do they have different pattens when they are slightly older?

I'd say fulica too, but maybe smithii (I'm useless at this though and only going on the yellow bits, so I think it's unlikely they are smithii - so probably fulica).
My baby fulicas had spots rather than stripes, but they left for their homes fairly early on so they could have developed them later?

are they the same species?
the adults i have no idea, but the babies look like tigers - they look how both of my babies did when they were that small.

Are these your snails? You only need to turn them around and look what colour the columella has. If it is pink than it could be smithii. If white, beige or bluish most likely fulicas.
I couldn´t tell my fulica and smithii apart before they reached a lenght about 2 or 3 cm.

They are not from the same species.
My baby fulicas are spotty, not in stripes. So that's why I asked if they are or not. The adults are pretty big as I was told.

Could the babies be dimis? Cos mine had stripes when they were babies. You can only just see them on this pic though.  Baby tigers are a bit like gold dust, aren't they? Or is it only me who's had trouble finding some *lol* Well, no, cos Sian did too..I think...  |

Can you get a picture of the parents of the smaller snails? that would help identify them.
The two larger ones I think are fulica, some of my fulica look just like them, maybe the only way to tell them as a different species would be them having a columella that isnt blue/white?

Do you know of which colour is the columella? The bigger and the baby ones seem to be all fulicas´, I have babies fulicas that are quite similar to those, not to say that the grown ones are identical to the adult fulicas. But anyway, it´s important to know about the columella colour, just to be sure.  It would be important to know too, as Kevin said, how the parents of the babies look like. Nice snails btw. apple |

Yup, top picture is of two fulica, bottom, well I'm not sure, I don't think they are tigers. Sometimes it's hard to tell when they are that young.
