Big Snailie Family :)

Well I decided it was time to introduce my new snails to my other snails got some pics! soo now I have abdullah, azra, kato, safara & earl one big happy snailie family need a big container for them though :P

Awww. They look so cute together!
I want one so bad!!! LOL Maybe one day they'll lift the restrictions in Canada... I hope they do!
Did you get them their new container yet?

Thankyou
I hope they do I would send you loads when they have eggs.
Nope not yet.. I need to find the perfect size

Hahaha, I'll keep you to that!
When will they breed? Is there anything specific you need to do, or will they just breed on there own?
Haha, I know what you mean!

Well some species of snail require higher temperatures to trigger them into breeding.. my bedroom is quite warm so my snails are always active so I think they will breed just fine

My albino ones (archatina reticulata) will begin breeding at 9 months apparently.. and they are 8 months old ish now

My new archatina fulica (safara & kato) have bred before a few times and they are almost 3 so they should breed very soon, when they are settled and earl will mate with them, too he's a couple of months younger than banana

I just wait.. I will probs see them mating. and then the eggs will be buried in the peat.. and then i move them into a plastic livefood container in some damp peat and put them in a dark warm cupboard for 2 weeks until they hatch

Wow! I can't wait to see baby snailies! How long does it take for them to hatch?

You're gonna have your hands full with baby snailies soon! LOL!

Interesting! Can you take pictures of the snail eggs when they mate? I've only seen apple snail eggs.

there huge how can you tell who is who?

Aw congrats sarah... now lovely Earl won't feel the minority now that you have some more colored like him can't wait to see them in the larger container.

Of course, I will take some photos of the eggs I can't resist taking photos of everything!! I hope they lay some very soon.. I might set up my heat mat but i need to buy another digital thermometer first.

They take 2 weeks to hatch I think I will get back to you on that

I can tell the albino ones apart because one is larger.. so i say he is the male earl is the smaller brown one and the new ones.. the 'boy' is huge and the 'girl' has some pink tints on her shell

Thankyou Kel

i love the albino ones, but they cost a bomb x

mine didnt.. paid the standard £6.50 charge for live insects.. and then they cost £6 for both of them
