It would be nice to have some albino babies. Will you be selling any of them? Maybe you can find a pet store or better a reptile store that would want so of your little ones. I wish I was closer.

I have a lizard who would eat the eggs so I really wish I was closer.
Can you find someone with a lizard who would take the extra eggs?
You could get a lizard. I feed the infertile snake eggs to my skinks. I can tell the difference now and there is no point in wasting them.

The baby snails are doing really well. There are about 8 of them and they have certainly grown. One is bigger than the others, probably eating most of the cucumber.

I think one of the albino snails is laying eggs. She has been buried down in the same spot now for a few days so I am guessing she is laying eggs. Guess I will have to wait until she moves so I can check them out plus I need to clean the tank out. I will keep just a few eggs as it will be nice to have some baby albinos as well, and then that's it no more baby snails!!

I can imagine my husbands face if I even suggested getting a lizard. So, I'm not even going to. Maybe one day in the future I will but for now no. I'd probably go for a chameleon as I like them and I don't think that they bite, do they?
