A single, healthy, captive-bred juvenile Cepaea snail, raised in a clean indoor environment. These young snails are part of a larger genetics project and are offered as overflow stock at an affordable price.
Each juvenile is selected at random from current available stock and is around pea-sized or larger. If you have a preference (e.g. yellow or brown, striped or unbanded), you can leave a note at checkout and we’ll do our best to accommodate, though specific morphs are not guaranteed.
Important Notes About Juveniles
Juveniles are still actively growing, and their shells are not yet fully hardened.
All juveniles will develop a growth line once they’re introduced to a new environment — even in perfect conditions. This faint line marks the point where their shell growth continues in your care.
If you're looking for snails with flawless shells, consider one of our fully grown adult listings instead.
