Last night I took some of pics of my snails and thought I would share them :





I'm not the best aquatic photographer, but I'm pretty proud of these pics

Sorry about the big size of pics I couldnt get them smaller for some reason

Those are very good pictures! I love the cute look on his face in the second one. It's really hard to photograph snails, as weird as it sounds. My old camera is much better, but my new one thinks that I'm trying to get something behind the snail.

I know!! My camera cost me $500 and I still cant get a decent photo of my goldfish

Beautiful pictures! What a nice golden colour =o)

Hi Mystizah!

I have included a link to a post that may help. I just posted info on how I take care of my babies. It also includes advice from other snail mums & dads which you may find helpful. The thread also includes a pic of my snail tank as well :

Snail Care

Snails also need lots of calcium in their diet to help them grow strong, hard shells. To add calcium to the water I add little bits of cuttle bone in the filter, because I cant get liquid calcium here. The best resource for info on snail care is:

I hope I have helped

WOW!! those are really good pic.s!! they look just like my snails!!

No, that's a baby Ramshorn. I took all my Ramshorns out if the tank and in there own bowl because they are multiplying, but a couple escaped capture. I have since moved him Cheeky little things!

Very nice pictures selena and they have a nice golden colour to them
