Snail Sex!

So we arrived home last Saturday night to find these 2 guys having some snailie 'fun'!!These are 2 of the Jade x Rodatzis,so hatchlings should be interesting!!...We may well end up with some albino babies!!
Fingers crossed for eggs!!! :)

Snail Art....

Was rather pleased with how this turned out!!....Didn't know i could draw! :)

RIP Godzilla & Phyllis!

Well I'm not having the best week.........Both Godzilla and funny little Phyllis died this week,I'm absolutely gutted!
Unfortunately these things happen,their little lives were not
meant to be........bless em :( x

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... :)

Donna & Kebab at 10 Months....

So here's Donna And Kebab at 10 months old....Donna is just getting slimed on by a Jadatzi baby...
I weighed them both today and there is a huge difference between them still, Donna weighs in at just 15 grams!
And Kebab is racing ahead at 47 grams!
I moved them from the 3 foot tank to a smaller one a few months ago and since then they are doing really well and growing the best they have since i got them......:)

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! :)

Marrow!

This is Marrow,he's an Archachatina marginata var. marginata,or more commonly known as a Margie.

He's approx about 3 years old and measures 17cm in shell length....he's HUGE!!

So he's just moved into the 3ft tank with Jim and Phyllis the fulicas!
