I'm not sure if yours will eventually change color when they get bigger, but I'd think that they will keep the color that they have now.Zalimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04101606437274917685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704075873869917958.post-34507564550602505862014-03-27T00:41:24.616+01:002014-03-27T00:41:24.616+01:00Beautiful pictures!

The shell base color is a tan / olive color and the larger snails seem to be lighter in color than the smaller ones (which are more reddish brown), with more noticeable spots. The foot color of all of them is a pinkish orange currently, and some are more pink/red than others.<br /><br />Will they eventually go "golden" (yellow shell, pink foot) or are they destined to be brown?<br /><br />If they stay olive / yellow I might keep them as they look quite pretty, however they're eating my water sprite plants down to the roots so I may have to remove them from my display somehow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
