hola
i dont usually do this but i bought 2 snail that i didnt know what they were. so far they havent eaten my plants. they are shaped a lot like a brig but have a tan base shell with brown markings. one has 2 rows of spots the other is tiger striped. any ideas
 
If they haven't eaten your plants, they probably are Brigs ... tan or yellow base coat is common, as are the stripes and spots. My two Mama Brigs have what is called "wild" colors, yellow base, with brown color and darker stripes (burgundy on one, purple on the other). If your snails are Brigs, when you look at the fleshy foot you should see the irridescent speckles, pinkish to peach colored on a light foot, darker pinks on a dark foot.
 
thats cool. i already have 1 chestnut brig that i love. i never saw those colors on brigs before. i used to have jades golds,and chestnuts but my kribs decided to breed and you can figure out the rest. so far they havent touched my crypts but i will see. their foot is light and dark brown in stripes on the contrary to my chestnut brig which has red spots on his foot. anyways thanks
