Regular Member Devs Posted August 31, 2005 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 31, 2005 Marmalade sees Chewy,and become her shadow.Thing is ,that I was putting cooked veggies in there for Chewy & she was eating them all,and floating afterwards(Pig Face Overeater) I recently just started puttin in Raw Veggies.She still tries to eat it,but not near as much.Any way,I had this ingenious idea that with all the veggies/algae wafers/snail Cookies,etc,that somehow Chewy would leave em alone.Here's the proof of how wrong I was.This is/was the Last strand (of 6) Cabomba,that I put in there last night! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Devs Posted August 31, 2005 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 31, 2005 If you look,you'll see that now Marmalade's trying to eat it too! Chewy's made her into a "Plant Thirsty" Monster for sure! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Graham Posted August 31, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted August 31, 2005 Holy Mackeral! That is COOL! I LOVE that picture of Chewy and Marmelade eating like Lady and the Tramp! I fianlly spotted Sakuraba-San (my hitchiker new snail that came as a gift on a plant ) - I was so proud to see that he grew! He doubled his size - he is now almost (but not quite) one centimeter! It is amazing that he did nto get thrown out with the bag! Maybe one day he will be as big as Chewy! How long have you had Chewy and how much has he grown?! I have never seen a snail that big in my life! How long can they live? Amazing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Devs Posted September 4, 2005 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 4, 2005 The person that was keeping her for a while,had some issues with her tank,and unfortunately Chewy's shell is not the nicest,but I still love her to death! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Erika Posted October 6, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 6, 2005 Chewy is HUGE.... My god, I can't believe it. Her shell is horrible though, but canas IMO have more character when they're like that, and as we can see, she's certainly healthy!!! My goodness, I HOPE her son gets that big.... does anyone know if sex is a determining factor in size with apple snails? Oh, and Sharon, has her foot always been that dark? George's foot is much lighter than that. Or maybe it's age, eh? Anyway, good to see pics of the ol' girl... she's definely a legend in her own time!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Devs Posted October 6, 2005 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 6, 2005 I love her no matter how bad she looks.She came back to me that way,so there wasn't much that I could do about her shell.All it takes is low ph,and it's amazing just how fast a snails shell can get yucky. When I got those tons of Snails off of Woodle on Aquabid,I was having a hard time adjusting ph because the tank was always around 6.8-7. All those guys are doing fine now,but their shells are always gonna look bad from that 1st couple weeks/months of trying to get things right.Chewy actually looked tons better than Boyfriend and her other snaily guy,which by the way,they both passed on within a month of each other. Those guys were nowhere near as big as Chewy. Going by life span they give snails,I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise,but it still really upst me. We'll have to ask Donya,but from what I've seen,it always seems like the "Big Ones" ARE THE GIRLS! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ruffledmumkin Posted October 6, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 6, 2005 I think I have a couple of Chewy's grandchildren. They are getting really big too. They aren't the size of Chewy yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Erika Posted October 6, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 6, 2005 I'm gonna hve to show Jon that pic of Chewy in your hand... I think he'll have a heart attack! So has her foot darkened with age? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
