We are trapdoor snails from the genus Cipangopaludina, possibly C. malleata 🐌 🗾

We are rescues 🐌

The biggest snail is a female, but the other two adults have not been sexed (did not cooperate) 🐌 We are all called Mama in posts

We give live birth 🐌🐌🐌

Our babies tend to seemingly appear out of nowhere, and that is why we are often called mystery snails (but the classic aquarium mystery snails from the genus Pomacea lay eggs) 🐌🐌🐌

We eat mostly algae wafers and cuttle bone 🐌🦠🦴

if your animal is lying on the floor, furniture etc, it’s important to take a picture of them. then, if they move or shift in any way, it’s important to take another picture. with this technique, you can take many pictures of your animal
