Rebecca Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I have a pair of these guys who spawn on a fairly regular basis, for which I'm very grateful I keep snails in their tank for clean up and last night I noticed my female sitting there eating an entire bunch of snail eggs. I've never seen it beofre and was wondering if the extra protein was why they breed so well? If anyone can shed any light on this please let me know.

Rebecca Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Ha, never thought of that :lol: I've noticed that they ignore the adult snails but you're right they like the zuchinni almost as much as the babies. Anyway I don't mind as long as they keep producing those gorgeous little babies and the snail population was getting a bit out of control, been throwing the big ones in the turtle enclosure which felt a bit mean :oops: so now I'll leave them for a while.
