Realised I hadn't posted about my snails in a while so here we go.
I need to get updated piccies of everyone not in the propagator though lol. I'll try and do that tomorrow and will add them here with the snail info
At the moment I have 12 margie babies.
I kept Frankie my first margie baby, and his other 2 siblings went to their new home with Felix last week ;D (the other eggs didn't hatch)
I found another batch of eggs, there was 11 but 1 was broken in the tank and another 6 broke the next day. The other 4 hatched though and here 2 are with big bro Frankie not long after they hatched:
and the other 2:
Then on Tuesday I was sorting some of the tubs out, I looked at the margie and two-tone tub -which the snails weren't in as I'd found mites and moved them out- and there was a bloomin snail crawling up the front!
7 more margie babies had hatched without me even knowing there we eggs! Izrina had laid eggs before I had to take them out and I hadn't seen them!
I hadn't needed to spray the tank or put food in so I hadn't looked in the tank.
4 of them are Baileys coloured with grey/light faces, 3 are "normal" and 1 has a Baileys coloured skirt but the rest is "normal".
The piccies don't show the Baileys colour well though, the pic of the shyest one is the best so far.
The 3 normals, you can see the one at the top is the one with the Baileys skirt:
and the 4 Baileys:
The shyest one. I might keep this one, I'm going to wait and see if they lighten or darken though.
All my margie bubs together (taken on the 14th) ;D
The rest of the propagator gang:
Catherine, Gil and Horatio the tigers:
Kyan and Ted the fulica rodatzi:
Nick the iredalei (From Sarah):
Jared and Jensen the limicolaria (also from Sarah):
and last but not least, Korben my little slow poke reticulata:
And last pic for today, Kaiya the old fulica I lost:
[/end spam for now]
