When I was still young (and beautiful 🙃) I pushed a friend out of a window… into 3 mètres of fresh powder snow! It took us half an hour to get him out with a rope and a snow shovel!

Oh my goodness!

‘Tis but a snail, but ‘tis a most beautiful creature, what with the arched back and supreme racing body; and eggs that look like baked beans!

Has anyone ever tried to eat mystery snails à la française?

Friends are not meals 🙂

The meteorologist is reporting high humidity.

For the first time I saw 2 mystery snails conducting “adult behavior”.  The 2 large magentas were oblivious to me netting fish and were having “relations”. After my first fish was netted, I stopped to observe because it was just something out of the norm. And also because netting fish around plants and decor is annoying, and I took a break. Lol

Can you see the growth lines @Guppysnail? What a spurt!

[Guppysnail]

Mine always grow crazy fast. Remember when we first started chatting about them I was worried they would get to large to ship before the weather broke?  Now you see why. 🤗

[Chick-In-Of-TheSea]

The lines are subtle though. Their stripes didn’t skip a beat. ❤️😍

[Guppysnail]

The less pronounced the line the closer dietary and water parameters are to their grow out tank 🤗

The water sprite always has a snail in it.

Goliath has reached a high point. Annnnd is somehow taking a nap on one blade of grass.  (well, Christmas moss)

Seeing as I’m a bit of a snail novice, what kind of mystery snail colors are there??

Here are some of the varieties.

 

Also some snails have a gold foot, some have blue, some black, some ivory, etc depending on what type of mystery snail.

Here I have gold, magenta, and blue.
