And don't forget! WolfNippleChips had two of her PPs breed.
If we are referring to the thread I'm thinking of, they did not live, however that thread has a ton of pictures which are interesting to observe.

On the other hand, I love how big they've grown!

Babies are now 6 and a half months old and finally the first has moved up a size into a 4th shell. They have kept 3rd shells for months and months. I am now expecting the other 13 to change shells in the near future as well.

Wow, they have hit 'nerite stage'. Roughly what shaped opening are they in now?

Might only be 12 or 13 in total. I sort of lost track but it is at least 12.

Thanks for the pic Renroc! When above and beyond to answer. :) (Massive thanks!)
Hard to believe they already got 1cm (0.4 inch for US people)... They grow up so fast. :lol:
