Snails Wanted

[ParanoidPython]

Does anyone know of a good supplier of snails and willing to freight?

Thanks

What variety are you after and what state are you in? Freighting snail would be a bit messy in my opinion as i catch them, house them for a day with lettuce then feed them to my lizards, but the container is incredibly messy after just one night. i would nt open the freight tub close to your face,yuk...

We are after garden snails, we're in QLD and there is none around here and if there were the hundreds of green frogs would get them first!!!

i was going to start breeding them, one guy was selling a breeding bin with 1-2kg of snails in it for $50! but im poor and couldnt afford it..8[

Sorry. Don't know anyone who can help you. Shame you dont have any up there. Where I live I collect them every night for my blueys. Good luck

Is it possible to go for a walk around the neighbourhood after it's been raining and collect some? (Just keep them for a while with lettuce before feeding them to your bluey so you can be sure they've not ingested any poison.) Otherwise you could consider planting some lettuce or other green fleshy plants that'll attract them. They love hiding in damp, dank and dark areas.

If not, maybe someone here could ship you some snails?

Just buy the canned snails from Indonesia, they are sold for human consumption and are quite affordable,just make sure you rinse them well.

Are they for pink toungues?

 

[ParanoidPython]

Yes they are for my pink tongues as well as blue tongues and shinglebacks, we dont get any around here at all, even in the rain! Thanks for the advice, never thought of looking for canned snails other than those from the pet shops.

Ummmm, have you looked at the date...?

Still a relevant post.
Thanks Mike, they are still really hard to get. My current supply is frozen and I prefer live. I will be contacting you.

Someone digging up a 2yr old post may have helped you this time. But trust the 100 other ones were long dead and should have stayed buried.

Should be closed like the rest of them
