It's like I'm waiting on pins and needles. I know I'm doing it how I'm suppost to. But I still get nervous like I'm doing it wrong 😮

Yeah I wake up each morning thinking is today the day? Will @TeeJay be a snail dad?

I feel like it should hopefully happen by the end of the weekend. Im sure it's flotsam first clutch so I think they just need more time than some other snails that have had multiple clutches before.

@TeeJay is this egg open? Does it look wet/shiny inside?

From the pic it looks like a snail is coming out.

I feel like I saw 2-3 that looked open but I checked thru the incubator to see if I could find any snails with no luck. But I couldn't rememver if those had always been popped since I found the clutch or not.

Look inside the open eggs  to see if any look wet and shiny. If that is what you see inside those open eggs, those are snail shells.

I just went back to look and this is what I found now. I can't tell if the two little bits off of it are snails they haven't moved yet but in the pic I think I see a couple open eggs that look wet and shiney! Ah idk what to do lol

@TeeJay those are snails! Congratulations! Crumble the clutch into the tank and dunk that paper towel in the tank so everyone goes to their new home.

Yep! You want to make food available right away .

Ok 75 percent of the clutch just easy fell apart the other 25 was harder so I'm sure we have snails. I dunked the towel into the tank

If you are not able to crumble that hard part of the clutch put it into the incubator again. It should not stay submerged.

Ok I took out the 2 hard pieces I found. Everything else seems to be in order

I can see all the little gold and brown dots that are the snails mixed with what's left of the clutch. I observed for a few minutes. I went ahead and turned off the light so they can relax while the get used to being in a new world
