quickcluck Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Or does anyone know where I can find them??? Thanks kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 My ED has three of these. As she isn't that brilliant about looking after them, it takes so much effort I keep threatening to sell some so she just has one left. I will have a chat to her tomorrow to see what she thinks. Trouble is, you are quite a way from me and I can't drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Perhaps we could set up a snail train? Wouldn't be very fast though! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Perhaps we could set up a snail train? Wouldn't be very fast though! Emma.x She does a clean every week, and checks for old food when she walks past. She also sprays them with water as and when. We do a complete clean every couple of months and clear out all the old bedding, wash the tank etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xScrunchee Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Ebay normally have tons. Unusual breeds too Also they can be sent through the post Sounds a bit crazy but they are fine if they are packaged well and I would only suggest posting on a Monday, Tuesday or wednesday so that they don't get stuck in the sorting office over the weekend but even so-they would no doubt be fine Haven't got any to give you though-sorry. We have 2. One is a lovely yellow shell with a greyish body and the other is a browny shell with a pure white body. They cannot breed together as the yellow one is a live bearer You get more results if you just type 'Land snails' into the Ebay search bar Ebay link This is like the one with a white body but I can't find a pic of the one with a yellow shell. I will try to remember to take a photo later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they wont freak his mother out too much!!!! Any other pearls of wisdom on care is greatfully recieved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Will move this thread to the 'My Family and Other Animals' section so that chat about caring for the snails can carry on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
