Blondies Gone!!!

[pheonixx]

All the blondies have now gone to their new homes..except the 2 that are ours and I feel a little sad I have fond memories of bathing them all 12 I put them in a tupperware container and all 12 climbed up on to the lid I flipped it over put a towel down in my sink in case any fell off and ran the tap gently over them to wash off the peat and stuff and gave their shells a tiny scrub with the toothbrush..awww they all stayed there and not one fell off and when I had done they looked so clean and the shells were perfect..I put them back in their tank and all 12 were scoffing a corn on the cob..6 on one side 6 on the other..classic..I had my eye on one of them it was the most lively and the markings were different to the others and when Daz packed them I wasnt feeling to well and fell asleep and yes my favorite has gone to a new home...im a bit sad I used to see it riding round on the backs of the big snails no one else does that..oohh well I hope they love him like I did the 2 we have left we have to dig them out of the substrate every day to feed them or they would sleep forever..LOL

I still miss these young ones and wonder how they are all doing in their new homes..I still miss the one I wanted to keep it was the most active one of the 12..these young ones like their kip at times I have to wake them to eat.

Hi Linda,
Here is another pic of the same snaily going slimeabout!! I have found that if you leave them in their tank they will just sleep the day away, I feel that they need more exercise than this so........every morning I put them on a plastic tray slanting towards the sink and spray them with warm water for about 1 minute, they love it, then I leave them in this tray - on the windowsill as it is often sunny there and they just slime about for the rest of the morning - often sliming up the windows, they are real comical to watch and I really think they enjoy the freedom. I then do the same with my little tiger snails!!
