Just got back from a short break which I spent in England.Shortly before I left one of my A.achatina's(Tigers) laid a new batch of eggs.Guess it would've been laid around the 14th,right at the back wall of the tank,where its hard to get to.I decided to leave them in the tank anyway and let the young snails stay in there for awhile.The eggs just started hatching,I've seen a few young Tigers crawl around the tank already.
In England I bought three A.marginata ovums at Brixton market,which seem to be doing well so far.Also I got three young Tigers,one about 3 cm,the other two about 2 cm from a friend.They share the tank with the other Tigers.

It has been a long time since I last wrote in this blog.Not much has happened really,although the Achatina reticulata that was retracted didn't make it.The rest of the snails are doing well,the four badly growing Archachatina marginata's that I had seperated have been doing average to great.One seems to be on its way to catching up with his bigger siblings,another one is showing good signs of growth,but the other two keep on struggling.
I've been setting up a new tank for my "smithi"s"which now seem to be a form of immaculata.They are doing well and growing rapidly,their old tank will become the fulica tank.
