Can any of you experienced observers tell me; Are there any signs that a hermit needs a new home? (besides dead snails), can you estimate the size of the replacement. I would like to supply A1 future condos to my hermits(all small at the moment) of the right shape and sizes in an effort to save snails ie are there shapes etc that they prefer?(is a little bigger shell of the type they presently have a good bet?).
Also can anyone give me an approximate time table on growth and shell changes to full size (do they still change shells after reaching adult size?).
I suppose growth is variable with species, conditions etc, but a ballpark estimate with some obs. would be very helpful.
