Hi all -
I recently received a shipment of MTS with some ramshorns thrown in. The question I have is that many of both types came with shells that look kind of blue and chalky. I've attached some pics - is this a sign of problem shells, or too much hardness? They still seem to be very healthy otherwise (plenty of snail poop, baby MTS and eggs to suggest that!). I was just curious. Thanks.

I thought that was probably it - I've only had them for about 10 days, although I will say I was a little disappointed when I opened the box and so many looked like this, but I decided to do my best to care for them. I just didn't know if is was from crawling through sand.
