    Certh snails are my favorite, but unfortunately the eggs are viable in the average set up.

    hahaha, you may be right and if so you should consider yourself lucky, its not exactly common to save snail eggs.

    pagojoe spreading his wisdom, as mentioned before I'm sure he could give you a proper identification.
