Anyone have luck breeding these guys? ive got like 8 huge tiger and regular turbo snails, after about 6 months of having them all i apparently seem to have hundreds of mini turbos some a few mm big and a few others almost 3/8" big. now im thinking wow i didnt really think i could have luck and have some of there little off spring. goign to take a lot of them to lfs later on when there about 1" for other crabs or something lol. but yeah. i never even saw eggs on the wall or anywhere or anything to suspect baby eggs.

I've never actually bred them but are you sure they are not colonista snails? I have thousands of those. They are hitchhikers that are very small and reproduce like crazy.

well they could be. but they never did pop up. there shells also resemble those of my tiger turbos since they also have the same black stripes that go around the shell.

Collonista snails look like mini-turbos, but they stay small. They also can reproduce on their own. Also, they are nocturnal, which usually explains why people don't see them until the population grows and some remain for a while when the lights turn on.
