does anyone know about posting snails? I have 60 GALS that are free to good homes, postage costs on buyer but Im ot sure of how to post them as people are interested but far away!
thanks!
Also have lots left if anyone is interested?

You need to use next day delivary.

They need to be posted in a platic tubs with holes in it, moss or soil in the tub so they don't get hurt, and food for them too, also make sure the soil and moss are damp, I use paper towels for the bottom of the tub.

Then you have to pack them in a box, you need either bubble wrap to stop the box from wobbling or any kind of packing stuff.

Also you need to write on the box "this way up" and "fragile"

I've never been asked what was in the box but if they ever do say "glass snails" xD

i can relate to that. my original 3 were bought for my son but it's me who's become a bit obsessed with them. first came the mahoosive tank, then the decorative bark and snake hide to put in it, then 2 white jades then more cool stuff for the tank. and i'd love a couple of tiger snails for the tank but i know i have to wait a bit. i've only had my jades for about 2 weeks and they're still not named yet lol.

well heres pics of my two, not very good ones cos theyre still ickle!

[teshu]

are they 'normal' GALS? how old are they?

and i know it's prolly not the right thread but do you have any pics of your burmese millipedes? i'm in the process of learning about milipedes cos i'm thinking of getting one (or two).

[daikenkai]

hey,
theyre tiger snail, they get quite a bit bigger than the fulica and need a bit more care.
the millies i have are teeny, about a cm or two so could be a struggle to get pics of them but i could try for you. Ill give it a shot tomorrow.
Oh and if youre thinking of getting millies burmese are good staters and are quite pretty when adults too. Better to get 2 or more as well as they do like company. Theyre lovely pets though and i plan on getting more exotic species when i feel im ready.

i did have a millepede thread on the invert section but i've not been around for few days so it's pages & pages away.

if they're tiny, don't worry about pics. i just resumed they'd be bigger.

oooooh tiger snails. they'll be my next addition to my snail collections but not for a while yet.
