Well so far no but to get them to breed you have to put them through a dry period for a few months and I'm really not looking forward to that! I'll feel really cruel. That said I've only had them a week so maybe I am doing it all wrong lol. I've had good instructions on taking care of them so think they'll be fine. I just expected them to be really fussy eaters and read you have to cut food up fine but I was away at the weekend and they managed fine on the big veg my husband gave them. I feel bad that they been taken from the wild but if the bloke hadn't bought them they would have gone to the shell collectors

How are they doing? Still growing? Are you keeping them much the same as your other snails, or doing something different?

Still growing thanks Although they are getting fussy with what they eat now! I keep them very wet but they will also have a dry season where I don't wet them for several months, not looking forward to that!

A local (actually very good normally) reptile + shop round the corner from me has a bunch of large fulica. They where in a tub and their coil was so dry it was like dust. The youngsters that work there (all into snakes and spiders) obviously didn't understand my like for them and expressed how boring they where, always in there shell. I had all but one breaking through their crisp seal and coming out in less than a minute. They where a little bit shocked and disappointed with themselves when i let them know how wrong they have been keeping them. I hope they listen.
But the poor things made me feel so sad all dusty and dry like that, i can see why you are not looking forward to having to drought them.
Keep us updated. I can not spend out £70 (or more) for a pair right now, so will have to live my want of some through your pair ;D lol ;D

Awe I hate hearing stuff like that, thing is they obviously don't know the right info to pass on to buyers Lol I shall keep you updated, am going try and tempt them with new foods. I don't put pics on often cos when I plug my new phone into laptop I can only get it to download all my pics, including pages from websites I've been too, I then have to delete 100's of pics and leave the few I want, very frustrating!
