Phyllis!!!.......again...




So little Phyllis is now 2 1/2 months old and she's growing slowly!! Bless her she's such a cutie!
I've tried to take a picture from every angle,so you can see the odd shape of her shell,her bottom whorls have stopped growing so they look all compact and squashed together,so it's going to be very interesting to see how the rest of her shell will actually grow and fit in with the rest of it!?
Watch this space...........

Godzilla!

So this is the latest addition to my snail family...
Meet Godzilla, he's an Achatina Iredalei,or sometimes known as the Albino land snail or the Golden Land snail.
I'm guessing he's about 2 months old,going by his size and I have only got the one of this species,as they are the only land snail to give birth to live young instead of eggs.So the Iredalei population could get rather out of control with 2 of them.
He's also my early Christmas present from my boyfriend!! Lucky me... :) x

Phylis..

This is phylis....she's from the same batch as Thor and Olive but as you can see she's alot smaller and quite an odd shape! Her shell seems to be growing rather oddly and not as fast as the others.
Hopefully this won't affect her and she'll be able to live a normal snailie life....but time will tell!
Fingers crossed for little phylis :)

Fuli Babes.

These are Jims babies,Thor and Olive.
These two are staying and hopefully the rest will get rehomed anytime soon!
They're just over a month old now.. :)
