Talking

i gots baby snails....


And i'm really, really really, sure they are babies form the ones i bought from IPSF a few months ago. I think its the Strombusses.... the Strombus have the siphon, right?

Well anyway, they lay egg sacs that look like one or 3 bubbles of bubblewrap, each bubble has 3 to 10 teeny-tiny white egg looking things and then about a week or so later the 'eggs' start to look like tiny round larvae and then some time later they get out an suddenly i have a BUNCH of teeny-weenie baby snails that look exactly like the bigger ones- only smaller (imagine that)

if i ever get overrun with them, i will let you all know. Sharing is fun.

Thumbs up

Ya, it's nice to share.

Sounds to me like Nassarius snails...do you have any of those too? They have a siphon too...or is theirs a periscope?

the cartoon of the egg masses are humorously accurate

Hmmm...I don't think so. I'm on break at work, and have yet to find a photo of a strombus.


Heheheh what a hoot on the "humorously accurate" toon of the snail eggs
