Brotia herculea

(27.Nov.2007) Last week we got giant screwdriver-sanils: Brotia herculea. This snail grows up to 10cm and belongs to the Pachychilidae family. There are also other interesting members of this genus like B.pagodula and B.henrietta;
the second one is even currently available. They are easy to keep like most other snails and are mainly active from dusk till dawn. They are eating all kind of dead plants and algaes. They can be fed with tablets which contain many herbal ingredients.(Photo C.Luckhaup, Text R.Neunkirchen)
