Aint' they?
This morning I checked on them and one was hiding in the soil, I lifted the tub up to check on it and saw eggs. Think there was seven, but I was in total shock at the size of them. THEY ARE HUGE, I didn't expect them to be that big.

haha it's a bit of a shock when you see margie eggs. I call Achatina eggs tictacs and margie eggs mint imperials  |

I'll never be able to eat mint imperials again lol! Apparently my partner said you can get snail caviar, I nearly threw up. It doesn't appeal to me at all and my family that live in Belgium eat snails and always tell me how tasty they are  |

Do you know why the eggs are making little popping sounds? I have them in a box in soil and today they have been making very little high pitched popping sounds. It's actually quite scary, I'm sat here jumping every time one "pops"

Apparently not, I checked on them today and one had split right down the center. It had leaked a little of the goo and when I removed it there was nothing inside at all. I've torched the others and I can see some eggs have little things inside them but they are tiny. I'll give them another few weeks till I check on them again.
