Breeding
We have a varied and growing collection of small creatures here at home and we try to keep each
individual species in as natural a habitat as possible with regard to substrate, temperature & humidity.
Some of them will breed quite happily and as we can't keep them all
we will usually have some offspring available in our online shop.
Any money raised goes straight back into our hobby to go towards the upkeep & feeding as well as helping
with the costs involved in the study & research of lesser known species.

Giant Snails
* All of our different colour forms for most species are kept separate from each other as shown on our species pages.
*We keep at least 2 colonies of each snail species to prevent inbreeding after import issues in the last few years.
* We do not allow all our eggs to hatch, sometimes they are frozen to prevent overcrowding & inbreeding.
* We only keep eggs from giant snail species that are over 2 years old and have a good shell length.
* We try to add fresh bloodlines to our breeding groups whenever possible.
* All snails in our adult breeding groups are un-related to each other.
* We only ever sell animals that we have bred ourselves.
* We do cull any runts.

Eggs
Snail eggs vary in size & shape, some are like little balls of jelly, some have a thin hard shell
and some are a beautiful oval shape like the Caracolus Sagemon eggs shown below.
Most of these photos were taken when we were known as Collective Snails - I will be updating them at some point.
