5 days in the life of a snail

October 7th. Two eggs. One hatches stillborn. The other one holds hope.
 

October 8th, the second egg hatched. I put a crumb of cucumber in the terrarium.
October 9th baby ate cucumber and is rasping at cuttlefish bone.

October 10th baby is showing more coloration on the shell.
