Zamboni's Babies

[Confetto]

I have about thirty two Mystery Snail hatchlings. 

Z-1 was born Oct 3rd and a few days later its siblings began to emerge. October 14th the second clutch erupted bringing the total to 60+ babies. 

Sadly, we lost about half of the hatchlings; perhaps a bit of nature's course and my lack of experience as a snail-mom. However I believe snails lay as many eggs as they do because so few make it to adulthood.

Today I'm celebrating four successful weeks and the discovery of a late bloomer, the second snail to receive a name, Bitsy. What a wonderful experience this has been thus far, one I never had imagined.

So cute! Animals have incredible potential for reproduction and nature will do what it can to ensure that numbers are equilibrium. You're doing a great job!
