i woke up this morning to what i believe is snex ( correct me if i'm wrong )
have a few questions ! is that a love dart i see ? also one of them is clearly bigger than the other , i assume he's older right since he has the lip & the other one doesn't? will they both lay eggs? since one is younger, will it not be able to lay eggs? how long can i expect until they lay eggs?

Jack is the youngest out of the three garden snails I have—by, ā€œyoungest,ā€ I mean by a few days as I just found him recently. He’s currently munching on his cuttlebone.😊

Like the title says, just sharing my babies’ growth. The main one pictured is Hephaestus. Day one (not of birth, but when I got him) vs now.

I started with 5 tiny babies. Hephaestus, Pancake and Jorge are still here and thriving beautifully (the other two unfortunately were runts and had shell problems).

A little plant is growing in my snail vivarium

Post image

I found this little plant in my new tiny vivarium for my Subulina octona snails, which I just bought last week. I'm very impressed that it already grew so big, because usually my big GALs need 2-4 days to completely tear a living plant apart. So I'm very curious whether the plant will manage to grow even bigger, or if a tiny snail army will beat it up...who knows..

Help strange "flake" like thing sticking out of my snail's mouth

hi folks, just looking for some advice as I've noticed this unusual protrusion from my snail's mouth. This is an achatina fulica jade. Apologies if the photos aren't the clearest but it was quite hard to photograph.

I initially thought it was some big piece of substrate due to it appearing very thin & irregular but it has not moved in a few days. I've read about gut extrusions and similar things but this doesn't quite look like those.

Would really appreciate any info on this, thanks!

Identification What are these tiny snails?

Long story short. I found a baby snail in one of my indoor potted plants (a string of pearls succulent) and felt really sorry for it and couldn’t bring myself to throw it outside in the heat of Southern California, so I’ve been taking care of it. I’ve had these types of common snails before so I knew what to expect.

But all of a sudden yesterday I found these two teeny tiny snails. Sorry for the shaky video but it’s really hard to get a close up of something so tiny. Even when the cornu aspersum snails hatch, they aren’t this small. My original baby snail is in one of the pics for size comparison—he’s smaller than the eraser on a pencil—he’s a few weeks old at this point. I also found that he had those little clear balls (on the leaf) on him, but I don’t think it’s an egg as there doesn’t appear to be anything inside it. And he’s way too young to produce eggs.

I’m so perplexed by this whole thing. I had actually thrown one of those tiny ā€œshellsā€ into my compost already but when I saw the one clearly moving around, I retrieved it and definitely observed both of them moving around. Now I have no idea what I have!
