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!! :)

Phyllis at 8 months...

So here's Phyllis at 8 months old....she doing great!!
Growing really well and is best friends with Marrow the margie......Surprisingly as well I've been catching a glimpse of her reproductive organs protruding from her neck every now and again...which is really surprising to say she is such an odd shape,I really thought she would just be a runt,bless her!..It looks like she's really fit and healthy despite her deformed shell... :)

Rodatzi x Jade baby

So this little guy/gal is nearly 3 months old and is a cross between an Achatina Fulica Hamillei F. Rodatzi and an Achatina Fulica F. 'White jade' ........other wise nicknamed a Jadatzi!

So a rodatzi has a yellowish albino type shell and the Jade has a normal shell but with a albino body.....so with this little guy being a cross it should be quite interesting what he turns into!!
We're guessing he's going to look like a normal Hamillei this time around,but there's 3 of them,so when bred again they may throw out an albino bodied snail!?

Anyway for now him and his siblings (who are nameless at the moment) have a lot of growing to do...so watch this space! :)

Thor & Olive...

So this is Thor and Olive,brother and sister to little Phyllis!As you can see they are huge compared to her and are growing really fast,they look really healthy and will soon be the size of their dad Jim! :)

Poor Vic...

So yesterday my other big Fuli Vic died...:(

He'd gone 2 months without eating and finally he gave up,bless him.
Really gutted as it was only last week that his brother Bob died..

Bless em both...my original land snails..:(

Hatchling snails!

Whoops! I missed a batch of eggs,laid by my Fulica Jim(naughty Jim).......They were already starting to hatch when I found them buried really deep in the substrate,so I froze the eggs that hadn't hatched yet and here's a pic of the 4 day old hatchlings that I've kept..although the photo only shows a few of them! There maybe around 30 in total but I haven't had a proper head
count yet!!
