snail breeding

Useful tools... using whats handy!

So today I took the plunge and finally started my snail study in full throttle.  My plan is to monoculture two snails each in 8 separate culture jars, measure the shell growth over time and observe habits of feeding, breeding, and other life cycle aspects over time... should be a ton of work.

A water bath was set up utilizing a black plastic "concrete tub" filled with approximately 4 inches of tap water.  A 200 watt aquarium heater was added to maintain temp at 78.8*F and an airstone was added to normalize temperature through the bath.
