How the apple snail places its eggs

Dude, you need to get Tylos. You'd have a ball photographing the birthing process. Nicely done with these pics.

Tylomelania sp. They're snails hailing from Sumatra.

And they're expensive! I had some yellows not too long ago. $10 USD a piece! They only lay one egg/give birth once a month. I traded mine in because they weren't reproducing and eating all of my plants. SOme of them are pretty big, too.

I think you mean Sulawesi.

Sorry to derail here but anyone have some larger apple snails for sale? I'd like to get some for my 240.

Awesome pics and great angles. I wish I had a camera that could take shots like that.
