The Little Brown Snail in an Australian backyard. This blog documents my mis-haps, conquests, set backs and findings in the world of backyard Heliculture(snail farming) in Australia. Please follow along if you are at all interested in the expensive little mollusc's you have in you very own garden, perhaps by the end you may also be considering such a lucrative hobby as a potential business venture.

That was FAST!
I have been letting the little fellows settle in, but due to the wet weather here in Sydney atm I was concerned the soil in the enclosure was retaining too much moisture. It was which rectified by adding more dry soil, but before I added the mix I checked to see if I was going to smother any egg deposits. Not only did I find two egg clusters I also found hatchings, that's only 23 days since I collected the first specimens.
I have separated the hatchings and the eggs to a different container, where I can more adequately maintain conditions.
