Hi everyone! As you can see from the photos I noticed that my Eobania vermiculata has a strange bulge right between the antennae. Do you know what could cause this and if it is a serious issue? I was wondering if it might be a small fluid blister or perhaps some scar tissue from a past minor trauma but I would love to hear your opinions. Is there any specific recovery protocol I should follow or should I just leave it alone as I think? Has this ever happened to anyone? Thanks in advance for any opinion!

Hi, what species is it? I think it's a young helix pomatia. How old do you think she'll be and why did she already have an oethroplex organ on her own?

Today while I was cleaning the shell of my Cepaea nemoralis I found this filament in her body. I wouldn't want it to be a parasite or is it a part of her body?

Today I opened the display case and I found them like this. I hope I didn't disturb them, however after a few hours I find them detached with one with the dart stuck. I hope they have finished their things because they have been trying to mate for a month and I never know if they have succeeded. (Cornu Aspersum)

What species is it? Is she alive?

Centre-Italy

I found her like this.

Attualmente sto curando una delle mie lumache Cornu aspersum ferita a seguito di una caduta accidentale dal terrario. Il guscio è incrinato (vedi foto).

Ho immediatamente spostato la lumaca in un contenitore "ospedale" dedicato per prevenire ulteriori lesioni e garantire un ambiente sterile.

L'allestimento è composto da:

• Carta assorbente umida come substrato per mantenere l'umidità senza rischio di contaminazione.

Zucchine fresche e un

• pezzo di osso di seppia non aromatizzato e senza additivi per un immediato apporto di calcio

Ho evitato di utilizzare adesivi o materiali esterni per riparare il guscio al fine di prevenire contaminazioni chimiche o proliferazione batterica.

Gradirei un parere da esperti sui seguenti punti:

1. In base al danno mostrato, qual è la prognosi di guarigione?
2. Qual è la durata standard per tenere la lumaca in un ambiente ospedaliero?
3. Sono previste ulteriori fasi per facilitare il processo di calcificazione o per monitorare eventuali complicazioni?

Qualsiasi consiglio sul processo di recupero sarebbe molto apprezzato.

Last night I saw this. The two snails were mating but it lasted almost two hours, maybe not enough because they completed the act. I wouldn't want to have disturbed them or anything like that. It's the second time because the first time I caught one with the dart stuck in her body while she was walking alone.

I removed this thing that was sticking out of the snail's body, what can it be? She seemed like a parasite to me but I don't think so. Will there be repercussions on her?

I'm undecided if they are a helix pomatia or a cornu aspersum
