Snail Update April 2010

Right ... I haven't blogged in AGES! So here's an update of my gang....


New Tank lid arrived last week! Love it!

Here's Marjorie,posing!

Marrow was being shy today!

Back in the nice clean tank,feasting!

Marjorie

Here's Marjorie,our latest addition to our snail family!!....She arrived Yesterday and is a rescue from Brixton Market In London...She's a Marginata var Ovum-or commonly known as a Margie.



These pictures were taken as soon as we unpacked her,as you can see she was eager to investigate her new home!:)

RIP- Kebab

He died last Sunday..... bless him :(

Jade x Rodatzi babies-update!!

So here's what's left of the batch so far!!...
Normal shells on the left and yellow(rodatzi) shells on the right......and albino bodies shared between the 2 groups.
So at the moment there are just 2 snails that look like they have yellow shells and albino bodies,fingers crossed they stay like that!! :)

Albino baby!!

So look what we found the other day!!.....yep it's an Albino baby from the Jadatzi litter.....and we've since discovered there's 3 others like him as well, what's even better is their shells look pretty unmarked as well but that could change as they grow,we'll wait and see!
There's also a normal shelled one with an albino body,then the rest of them look like normal Fulica babies....
Will keep this blog updated with pics :)

Hatchlings!

So here are a few of the hatchlings at just 5 days old!!......It's too early to tell what colour their shell of body will be,but aren't they just so so cute!!....
Will update pics as they grow :)

Snail Babies!!!!

Yippee the eggs are hatching!!!!!!!....just 3 hatched so far!!
I'll take piccies as soon as i can,but don't want to disturb them too much just yet........keep checking back for updates!!
