Shell Repair for Older Snails

[Hollygirl]

I know that this topic has been covered in the past, but I think that you can never have too much information. My snails are Petsmart snails and as you can see from the photos they have shell defects. With items like Wonder Shells and feeding only the best (msjinkzd snail jello) do these snails with the defects ever have perfect shells with no cracks? Can they ever get normal shells? The snails in the pics (Goldie and Search) are munching on snail jello. I highly recommend it!

Those are genetic defects (fissures) I think, they cannot be repaired, but you can see the growth from inside which is good, it means they are closing. The shell will most likely not be perfect, but you can tell you are doing your job with a calcium rich diet.

Agreed. Fissures are most likely genetic... not much to do about them except do what you're already doing... lots of calcium.
