Lucky!!! I haven't gotten any yet.

Its taken a while for mine to start mating

Congrats! I have been a snail fan for many years, both terrestrial and aquatic. Glad to see others out there with gastropreciation! heh

How’s your moisture levels? I found they are triggered to mate if you mimic a rain shower

i missed the first eggs, I forgot about them. When you forget about them it’s easy to miss the eggs lol

thanks! It was hard to find some to get to mate

I can second that - they are much more active if I mist every morning vs skipping days.

Geesh...I thought you got chameleon eggs and it's only snails.
Just kidding. Congrats on the snail eggs! Now I'm waiting to see baby snails.

So I finally had time to count them and set up a bin for them. The magic number is

99 snail eggs!!!​

Yes I know it doesn’t look like that many

Snails being misted

I went a little overboard last time I misted my snails. They just looked so cute!!

 

[kinyonga]

Wow... 99 possible mouths to feed!

 

[MissSkittles]

Immediately my brain tried to plug 99 snail eggs, into the bottles of beer on the wall song, but it just doesn’t work.
99 snail eggs in the bin, 99 snail eggs...take one uh, down, um pass it around?

I checked on my eggs and they are bubbling. Does this mean they are going to hatch soon?

 

[JacksJill]

You mean your snail eggs? I rebury mine when I move them so I've never seen them get ready to hatch.

 

[JoXie411]

Yeah snail eggs not Cham eggs sorry everyone one. Maybe I should change the title

How long does it take to get to feeder size.

I'm trying to ignore the urge to start raising my own feeders.

I mean if I actually remember to feed them and water them my guess 3 months.

I love raising my own feeders, I really hate the post office. Feeding them can get expensive

Your post office requires you to feed them?! Wow, I would hate that too.

 

[JacksJill]

You can feed them off until they are dime sized for your average adult Veiled, Panther etc. After that it's probably best to just keep them as breeders.

I case everyone was not wondering the bubbling on the eggs do mean it’s about to hatch. Not that any of y’all care what I have to say
