My New Achatina Reticulata

eeeeeeee!! when i got home from college at 6:30pm today.. I had a package waiting for me it was labelled fragile sooo straight away I knew it was my new snailies! ^ ^

omg they are sooo cute ^ ^ they are tiny.. only around 4 months old.. and they emerged from their mini shells as soon as they felt the warmth of my hand I took loads of pics


First ever glimpse of my snailies




I have decided that this one is a girl



I have decided that this one is the boy





Sorry about my messy stuff .. this my fav piccie

AWWWW OMG.... sooo stinking sweet... you should call them wallace and grommit

haha you can call yours that when you get them.
I'm going to give them weird names probably something african

awwww they look so cute

thankyou

Today I introduced my new snailies to earl he is so big compared to them



<--- first pic i took

My favourite pic

I took LOADS of piccies but i dont want to annoy everyone by posting loads of pics of snails:D

awwww they look so tiny in with earl bless them

did earl like his new friends? lol

yeah although you can't really tell with snails lol he lets them climb and slime all over him .. and then one of little snails got bored and slimed off

awwww slime everywhere lol

haha, they're actually pretty cool. still not a fan of the slime though lol.

Haha, the sliming over Earl pics are awesome.

Then the bored snail slimed off... too funny...they look like they're having a blast

hahaha i always describe them 'walking' off as 'sliming' off because that's basically what they do

Jordan.. you should get some. they are seriously not as slimey as people think. you spray your hands with water to help them move around on you and you can't even feel the slime

the only bad slimey thing they do is when they poop on you when they are sliming up your arm. it is long and gooey and stringy lol and the new snailies poop is green lol

Ok now THAT^^^ is just gross...

hahaha yeah i know.. but everything gotta poop

haha, sorry Sarah, i admire your love for them, but theyre not for me lol.

this is my half finished new snail tank.. it's massive.. but it will house the snails when they are big and many babies. Until I have the money, the tank will not be very decorative. It's currently got some rocks in, a food tray, a water bowl.. and substrate.

Looks good, as long as they enjoy it, its fine

yeah they have been really active since I moved them.

It's very cool waking up and turning over to check the time on my mobile and seeing a snail the tank is on the floor next to my bed because I have no room and the snails, especially earl, like to climb to the top of the tank, directly in my eyeline

Lol, weird. Though i wake up with gecko's in view. If i wake up early enough they are still awake and doing weird things lol.

Happy snails... guess they're all getting along well.

yeah they are it's cute to watch. And the little ones have grown abit I can't wait until they are earl's size.

That is so cool that you have snails! They are the one thing I think I could never own tho>,< snails scare me lol

Congrats on ur new pets Gothicgurl, they look great!

thanks everyone

Snails are not scary! you keep tarantulas that can bite and throw hairs at you.. but you are scared of harmless snailies

ill get a snail if you get a tarantula :P if you get a Eupalastrus Campestratu (Pink zebra beauty) you would get hooked they are the worlds most docile T, and would never bite you and they are cheep!
