Dear Conch-lers,
please have a look at this page of my website:

The photographer and me were wondering about a few things related to these
eggs.  Can anyone help me answering to the following questions?

- do embryos (is this the correct word?) breathe somehow?
- how do eggs hatch?
- when does the shell start growing?

Thanks a lot!
Paolo
