Several adult Bradybaena similaris
were collected in Central Florida during March, 2015 and taken into
captivity. While in captivity the snails deposited a number of egg
clutches which subsequently hatched about 16 days after they were
deposited. The images below show several juveniles 62 days after
hatching which now measure 3.0 to 3.3 mm. in maximum diameter. The images were obtained
through use of a microscope by Lori Schroeder. |
