Gary and the new guy! Gary is the apple snail. Can anyone tell me what the cone shaped fella is? Plus a bonus of Sparky posing!

Snelly (Japanese Trapdoor) and her newest little one. Plus Gary in his 'cave'.

Very cute!

Thank You! Do you know what breed the cone shaped snail is?

I don't - it doesn't look like a malaysian trumpet snail (what I was first thinking) at least not like mine. How does it crawl. MTS snails almost inch worm along pulling their shells along. They also have the foot and a feeding tube that always are out on min -- let me go get a pic. BRB

The cone shaped snail is a malaysian trumpet snail, your snails are so cute but I don't think the trapdoor snail gives live birth I am pretty sure they are egg layers. Assuming I correct here, and don't quote me, then the babies are not trapdoor snails.

Here's on of my MTS - sorry, it's a little blurry, I was in a hurry

Maybe there are different types of MTS, but the shape of the foot looks different, and I don't see the feeding tube on yours.

The Trapdoor snails are live birth. I watched her have the first three. They are one of the few that do from what I understand. This is a good thing because it keeps the population down. They have a nine month gestation from what I have read and can have up to 15 babies. I just didn't think it would take almost two months to have 12! lol!
