Rarity! Sinistral snail of the species Caracolus sagemon Gran Piedra, Santiago de Cuba, Cuba lowland form

2020-05-22

You cannot find this very often. Most of the snail´s species have dextral (it turns to the right) shell and specimen with sinistral (it turns to the left) shell is very rare. We can find also species with natural sinistral shells or species where both dextral and sinistral forms are occurring with equal probability. But as I know in species from genus Caracolus and Pleurodonte it is not the case and they are all naturally dextral. I keep species of Caracolus and Pleurodonte for more than 10 years and I bred a lot of babies from them, and I never saw a sinistral snail. And now I bred one:-) You can check more photos of dextral, sinistral and comparison of both forms HERE.
