Snails finally laid lol

[hornet]

well after months of having a group setup in a tub i have found a clutch of eggs under a pot in the tub. Now just gotta wait for them to hatch and grow

 

[bredli84]

wow, errr snails. congrats!

 

[hornet]

yea not something alot of people would find exciting but its taken so damn long and finally something hapened

 

[bredli84]

fair enough, i suppose if you are interested these are every bit as exciting as velvet worms.
are you intending to use them as a food source?

 

[abbott75]

Most people don't understand how long it takes snails to mature. The large ones you see stealing your lettuce may be upwards of ten years old!

Anyway, congrats, I gave up long before I could get some to breed

 

[hornet]

lol these are nothing compared to velvet worms, these are just another feeder species, velvet worms are a highly desireable species that guys all over the world want, i have had people from europe and america asking if i can sell them some. I may have to post new pics

 

[hornet]

giant african land snails are ment to grow pretty quick, hope these garden snails dont take too long to mature.

 

[abbott75]

Look up heliciculture, it is the process of raising snails.

 

[Krystal]

Could you use aquarium snails as food? They are really easy to breed and you get heaps of them.

 

[Anthony88]

You can feed aquarium snails to fish, just crush them up.

 

[hornet]

i'm using them for lizard food, while i can use apple snails for that i just like land snails.

 

[Jen]

how would the aquarium snails - mystery snails - go for large lizard food?

 

[hornet]

they are a perfect feed land snails are just cooler

 

[Jen]

Cheers hornet, tho from what i've read on land snails, and having bred mystery snails before, the mysteries seem to be easier to breed, congrats on the eggs tho

 

[scorps]

lol id jsut breed aple snails so easy
