One of my engaddenis looks like he has kinks in it. He seems to be his normal self and seems to have no problems. I checked him closely last night and could see no other problems with the eye stalk. Has anyone any ideas about this?

Hei I'm new here so I like to let u know my story. I'm girl from Finland I have had my two snails from 9th Noverber last year. I bought them from local pet store, I counted their age from love arrows first apperrence and in my care they only grown 5mm since I bought them. So the duo is born on 14th november in 2007. So they r called Femi and Fulica, Femi is the "sickone". I think 2months ago was they time when her nother eye just have shrinked halfsize. After something like 2weeks or so the eye was gone. Her both horns responses every irratation, even the eyeless one. I'm having feeling that nother eye will do the same maybe. Eyeloss haven't done anything bad, she's as active as always. Her friend/sister, I'm not sure if my snails r related, is healthy no eyeloss. Last month Femi even laid eggs, 91eggs totally. I found on February from my terrarium Femi's and Fulica's babies I saved 3of them they r healhty lil active babies. Sorry about my writing mistakes, my real language is Finnish. Here's some photos of Femi and her misterious eye. www.petsie.fi/pet.php?petid=71726&s=images

Nothing to worry about, it looks like a problem doesn`t it?, but they just bend them sometimes, now and again you`ll see them doing it, but the same snail will be straight eye stalked the next day!

It's not problem Femi been one eyed snail, but I would been keen to know why the eye is gone.. Maybe it stays allways mystery.

I don't think I have ever read about a snail with an eyestalk that shrinks down to nothing, I really don't know what the cause could be. I will look on the internet to try to find information. I think, like Feebix says, your snail will continue to live a normal and healthy life though. thank you for posting your question, and your English is good.

Well well, I noticed watching my one snail Femis and Fulicas baby. It had some weird dots inside of it eyes talks! Lights are on and they make stalks look little bit transparent so you can see inside, like I saw those dots. I took few photos of it has to see later today does any picture is clear. Really weird, he don't seems to might them at all stalks work normally and he is about 1years now. Hmmh... Have to today look does anyone else has this same thing. Never know is it tumor, mites or something else if he gets worse or something have to see then what to do, but seems to be healthy at this point.

Here's the pic img689.imageshack.us/img689/9148/dscn1293x.jpg You can zoom it to full size so you can see them better. With naked eye they seem to be really outstanding dots, I'm not worried I'm just interested to see does snails health change much..
