The whirl on the snail in the next to last pic looks awfully indented to be a brigg so I am inclinde to side with you in wondering if it is in fact a brigg.

The snails are brigs. Not canas or anything else.

Thanks for confirming Lupin:) The shell just looks a little different from my briggs.

The amano? I am sad they won't grow to adulthood but she is a good mom.

I think I have a couple BB size but they need to grow a little more before I am sure. I'll let you know, okay? I think I just found a blue:dance:he is teeny but I can see his dark foot. Oh, I forgot, I found 3 jades yesterday. Well I think they are jade. we'll see.
