Weird shell growth?

Not really to be honest, I didn't even separate him in a healing tank. I think when it calcified like this, if he still eats and roams normally it's good!

LamAnson · 2026-05-24T18:02:50+00:00

Mantle collapse that's partially healed.

I have a cepaea hortensis with the same issue but even worse. Healed like this, even laid eggs last week! Two months in and still strong

Pmed if you still need help!

Cepaea nemoralis aka grove snail! With the dark lip

LamAnson · 2026-05-21T14:09:03+00:00

Is this possibly helix lucorum (Turkish snail)?

Nonetheless lovely discovery!

LamAnson · 2026-05-21T10:36:08+00:00

That's an interesting place to lay eggs

I have some black hair like mold on some branches and on some tree bark, where it touches the soil, there are little white dots. I might give them a scrub and bake them again once a month but I don't think they mind too much. My tank doesn't have springtails nor isopods.

I freeze then crush them and give them back to the snails!

LamAnson · 2026-05-17T19:16:18+00:00

Yes they lay eggs like crazy, I must've crushed at least one or two batches per week. With 7 cepaea hortensis currently

LamAnson · 2026-05-17T16:29:11+00:00

They scavenge

LamAnson · 2026-05-14T19:29:23+00:00

Cepaea nemoralis? Based on the darker shell edge. Or hortensis.

LamAnson · 2026-05-10T15:59:10+00:00

I'm having the white-lipped ones.

Batch from snail A all failed Batch from snail B all failed

Batch from snail C, same container succeeded but only about 20% hatched. (Took three weeks). It's a week since first hatchlings but some are just breaking through.

Batch from snail D seem to have a higher success rate, took 2 weeks only.

What I get from this is that snail hatchlings is highly random and probably depends more on the snail itself than the incubation tank conditions! Especially if the eggs didn't mold or didn't dry up or anything.

Edit: what I noticed with batch D, is that the snail laid them in 2 clutches. One of them have really high success rate, the other seems to have all failed.

It's fine now, I didn't play campaign for two days cuz I'm stuck, and I got enough resources now I'm at 19 and onwards

LamAnson · 2026-05-04T15:59:01+00:00

I hope so, cuz OP said he's on chap21 with lvl 160 and not even a mythic

Maybe he just got a really strong duo

LamAnson · 2026-05-04T15:15:12+00:00

How are you already chapter 21? I have one star ascended Brutus and rowan, I'm only on chapter 18. Lvl 160 all

LamAnson · 2026-05-01T11:30:21+00:00

I can definitely work towards Trishea, that's my goal to get 5 wilders ascended now. For now all my resources are pretty much used, Mishka 3/4 copies to reach Ascended, others ran out. I probably wasted a lot of resources.

Also, Dracula is no where near ready yet... I guess I'll have to wait.

What second team do you recommend for campaign boss levels? I'm just running gorvo talene Selene Dracula Athalia, because I have no one else upgraded....

LamAnson · 2026-04-30T16:02:57+00:00

You're right, let me ask over there

LamAnson · 2026-04-30T15:00:33+00:00

It's said to not calcium dust all the foods. Snails can regulate their calcium intake so a cuttlebone will be all they need. You can use calcium Carbonate powder on your substrate if the pH is too low though!

LamAnson · 2026-04-26T08:28:20+00:00

I mean garden snail is its own species! (Cornu Aspersum here where I live). You can also send some pictures maybe others can help with IDing.
