Hi,  my name is Brian, and I ran across this list while looking up
information on terrestrial snail breeders.  I collect shells, but only the
ones I find on the beach.  (I did do the live collecting thing once, and I
just couldn't really stomache it.)
  Anyway, now I keep a few fish tanks and a couple of paludariums, and
became interested in trying to add terrestrial snails to the paludariums.
However, it's very difficult to find any information about them, except for
the shells.  There are several breeders of Giant African snails, but those
are invasive and, well, giant.  So I've been questing for breeders that may
have other terrestrial snail varieties available for purchase.

  I'm kind of surprised that the shells of terrestrial gastropods are
readily available, but the animals themselves are not to be found.
