Sorry for your loss!
Fulicas are great and i think they are actually vry beuatiful too! Maybe not as much as margies and tigers.....

Shell types, body, colour, shell colour, size.

Identifying a snail is rather easy once you get to know, Reticulata snails have ridges shells and grow large.

Margies, tigers are a different species and have rounded apex'

Fulica grow to about 4-5" in shell lengh (body doesnt count in size)
Tigers grow to 8" in shell lengh.

Lawl, there is a site with loads of species and info about them

Hi all. I recently adopted two A.fulica. They have been named Ben and Gwen by my five year old daughter because she is a fan of Ben 10 on the Cartoon Network channel Not sure of their age but their shells are about the size of a 50p coin. Are settling in nicely and chomping on some cucumber as I type!

[GlitterBug]

ohhh Ben 10

I used to have such lovely dreams about him, and the woman who does his voice (first series)

How hot was he!!! Think I will start over again now ......beeeeeeennnn.....

Not that I'm into kids >.< Just cartoon characters do it for me.

So far Riannon has a helix aspersa (cole/coco) and a rodatzi (shennel) and i have 2 tigers, 1 rodatzi and 2 white jades. I used to go collect snails when i was a kid we would have comp to see who could collect most then let them go or have races but wasn't majorly in to them. But since meeting my big tiger spongebob am well into them he's got such a cute face and loves coming out and wandering about.
