We had babies!!!!!!
For those of you who don't know, we have 2 Giant African Land Snails. They are almost 3 years old, and have only laid one egg since we've had them as tiny snails themselves. As I was cleaning their tank today, I found 3 hatched snails and one egg!!! I was EXSTATIC!!! Definately 2 snails are alive, the other I'm not 100% sure yet, and I doubt the egg will hatch. I've been waiting for this for a long time!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! They are so cute compared to the adults we have!

here is a pic of Kaimah & Kamau, the adults! For those of you who don't know, snails are hermaphrodites, they have both male and female sex organs, but you need two to mate. Pretty cool stuff - can't wait to tell my students on Monday!!!!

cool,
 . congradulations. I'm happy for you, but I'm not much for snails. I love snakes and pretty much all reptiles, but no snails, worms, or slugs. They gross me out. But i'm glad you got some new babies.

Congratulations. This may sound silly but what exactly do you do with these snails? Pardon my ignorance but I've never heard of someone having snails as a pet?
