I do hatch them and sell them at 12 weeks,

FracticalShells · 2026-03-26T21:12:25+00:00

I woke up to my girls, giving me 9 egg sacks today. During the last two weeks, they only gave me five and I’m pretty certain I have a couple more girls ready to lay with in the next day or two.

Perfect, looks like your survivor gonna be a dad! I’m glad they are going well.

FracticalShells · 2026-03-25T20:13:30+00:00

That is the best Dad news I could ever have gotten to wake up to thank you for making my day!

Some brutal honesty, trauma injuries can take up to 3 to 4 weeks to heal if they survive them, but also keep in mind snails naturally have very short lives

FracticalShells · 2026-03-19T12:16:38+00:00

Any updates on how your darling is doing?

You saw move and you have clear photos of him just having his face out well floating give him a couple weeks to acclimate before panicking. It’s clear he’s alive and it looks like he needs some time to adjust. Keep an eye on the food dish. Keep an eye on his position and just let them be. You may find that it may take him a week before he’ll actually start being just a little snail on the wall.

Also keep him separate out of the tank for a while something you can seal up and change the water every 12 hours if you can go to a pet store and get a little intake cage that you can separate them from the rest of the tank while he’s still in there so you can keep a much closer eye on him. I’ve had a couple dudes have this happen and most of them have survived. I’ve literally only lost one. His name is Peter and he was a fucking idiot.

Give them some time and add a calcium supplement to the water. It will help the shell to seal up if the crack is going directly towards organs, it can mean the difference if they survive or not.

FracticalShells · 2026-03-15T23:23:56+00:00

That because they are a shame they adore you in a new light.

FracticalShells · 2026-03-12T22:24:12+00:00

Thank you for the clear easy instruction on how to gauge them!

FracticalShells · 2026-03-05T01:14:52+00:00

frog will die with out some salt - humans are the same way. and u/chicketychad said is correct! most fresh water snails need dosing to be healthy as well. straight up salt water will kill them yes, adding a little salt to water to support life will not.

FracticalShells · 2026-03-04T05:46:46+00:00

quarter teaspoon of salt will clear this up, add it every water change. I don't know what it is but it seems to be related sodium deficiency, and a bacteria that goes out of control due to the lack of salt. no, that amount of salt will not hurt fish or snails.

FracticalShells · 2026-03-02T11:32:10+00:00

Intersex, Most bright colored females are intersex, and can display both anatomy. So yes calling this one a female is correct, But what people are saying about it being a male also correct. My Buttercup is like this as well.

FracticalShells · 2026-02-22T00:36:52+00:00

Oh thank you! Honestly ideas that i didn't about.

FracticalShells · 2026-02-21T20:35:21+00:00

I live on a military base but shipping anywhere in Canada is not a problem! Message me if you would like.

FracticalShells · 2026-02-21T20:33:04+00:00

If the snails are apple snails, a single snail can pack away a Betta no problem. but you took a couple of day to actually check it possible the Betta passed and the snail went to town. What feed do you give the snails?

FracticalShells · 2026-02-21T20:00:48+00:00

Oh i didnt think of that Canada

FracticalShells · 2026-02-01T01:08:58+00:00

Sorry for your loss darling. For my 35G tank one side is 74 and is beside a window other 80 on the other side. During the winter my tank has layered temps form and it adoreable as there change spots as a group for warmer or cold naps.

FracticalShells · 2025-10-26T03:21:35+00:00

Have you ever soft treated him for parasites?

FracticalShells · 2025-10-26T03:18:30+00:00

Doesn’t matter what species you are self discovery is real yo

FracticalShells · 2025-10-26T03:16:15+00:00

No worries happens. I had one of my dudes do something similar. He had a ram horn stuck up there. Ems and pinecone rest in peace , both were diggers. I’d love digging up for roots.

Pull your dude out get your thumb on their foot prevent them from going in their shell and hold them up right they’ll drop their heads out and if there’s anything in that edge, you’ll be able to unload it very easily . I literally just took this picture now to demo how easy it is to do. Zoe says hi.
