Limi research thread

[AlienSnail]

I'm planning on typing up an information sheet on Limicoloria Flammea.

The information I have though is from my own experience.

I keep mine at approx 24 degrees centigrade, they eat lettuce, cucumber and sweetcorn (haven't found anything else they like), mine have laid eggs at approx 6cm shell-length, the eggs themselves being like Fulia eggs in looks, though smaller at around 4mm, and it's a small clutch (I think 7 but I need to go and check)

They like to live with their own kind only, in average humidity. I think they take roughly a year to mature to adulthood.

There's not much else that I know about them.

Has anyone else got any information, do you keep your's differently?

How long to eggs take to hatch? How do you raise the babies?

How long to these snails live?

Thanks everyone ;D

i found they like it hotter aroun 26-28 degrees if it went any lower they hibernated
batches of eggs usually came in 20's for me
eggs hatched in 10-20 days raised the babies on lettuce an tree lichens
i found the same about them liking their own kind only an they dont like to be handled

I've tried flat and iceberg lettuce, cucumber and sweet potato and they'll eat all these. Mine don't seem to be choosy. They do seem to like it more humid like Eric recommends.

I have kept my babies in a small tub on top of a large heated tank they are quite active and the conditions are humid.

;D
