If you have that many, you could eBay some.

 

I've got 3 large one's, you can have them if you want them, just pay P+P and they are all yours.

 

apparently bosc monitors like to eat them...

 

I've only a few one adult but hoping to get more for company for him

I have a few, got them to have babies to fed my puffer fish, they need snails to wear their teeth down. A good regular supply of free fish food.

I got 5 adults and about 150 babies dumped on me at work a couple of months back. (I work at a wildlife rehab centre, but we also have a reptile room). I am down to 3 adults and about 50 babies now. I managed to re-home 2 of the adults and 4 of the babies, my blue tounged skinks are helping me with the rest. anyone else want some they are welcome.

 

trust me you dont want none

they grow to fast and they multiply before the eye lol exaguration a little but you dont want any they take over your life mate :bash:

 

I've had my 3 adults for about 3 months, no babies here. Maybe they are all gay or something :lol2:

 

Im suprised no one hasalready said this...

Snails a Hermaphrodites or however you spell it.
Meaning there boys and girls so even if they were gay it wouldn't matter cos there both sex anyway :lol2:

 

I stuck to just one, best thing I ever did, couldn't kill them, but wouldn't know what to do with hundreds of babies

 

i have 3 adults who have went into a sort of hibernation the now...hmph oo and a bout 100 babies....

 

We have one large and one baby left out of the 200 babies that we did have.

Couldn't get rid of them, so finished them off as humanely as possible.

 

if anyone has snails they don't want, then please, by all means send them my way!

the skink will eat them, also both my chameleons do, and the agamas..

and i also have 5 slow worms who appeared on my desk one day (long story!)

they would be most appreciative of any surplas snails people have!

thanks!

Nerys

 

I just bought some on ebat my Pink tongue loves them!

 

I've had my Giant African Land Snail (linus) for what seems like an age and he's always been on his lonesome, but he lays fertile eggs once every 3 months i take them out and freeze them and last time he did it i ended up with about 600 of the bloody things,

wierd

 

are you all stupid! check for eggs daily when you find some remove them all put them in a sandwich bag, but them in the freezer for a couple of days and then completely crush them all, they will just be yolks at that stage! this is an alternative to just having one snail or having hundreds of babies, and god forbid no snails! trust me getting none is completely unneccessary, and if you only have one, somtimes they self fertilize (especially fulicas)you will have a lonely(its true that they get lonely!)and less active snail, if you need any other help ask me or go to this forum PetSnails Forum - Home

 

I am getting 2 iredalei soon...cant wait to get them but not looking forward to the live babies! i may advertise them on here if i get any....prefer to send them away to get killed than actually kill them myself...!

 

Giant African Landsnails.

We thought one of our snails was dead becuase it wasnt emerging from shell, however on closer examination, there was a semi solid clear seal blocking it in. Anyone else come across this, is this what they do when they are hibernating? Should we have left it? We removed it and put him in warm water and he came out and seems fine.

 

they will go dorment like that when they get too cold, or too dry, or sometimes for no apparent reason at all. it is nothing to worry about. as you discovered, they generaly come out of it when the humidity or temperature goes up again.

 

before i got my heatmat my snials did this now they never do! now they sometimes sleep unretracted!its quite funny seing this snail out of its shell just with its eys in!\i thnk thye should make a snial section of thes forum

 

i have 2, wicky and woo, i had em about 3 months or so an are fasinating to watch, they growing really fast as well!

 

why dont we ask for a snail section of the forum it could include aquatics aswell,as there are alot of GALS owners here.

 

Changed my mind already!! Getting one Iredalei and one Achatina Fulica...don't want the Iredalei breeding, I would find it too hard to kill the live babies!!
