newfisher Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Good. They look like shell-less snails and come in black or light tan colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Good. They look like shell-less snails and come in black or light tan colors. They have a shell, it is just very reduced and flat like a shield. It covers about 1/2 the back. I have tried picking them up before and they tend to "drop" their tail that is not under the shell. I have seen the front half live even after dropping the tail, but the back half does not. A defence similar to some lizards I believe. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
