Dear Members,
I need about 10-20 living Euglandina rosea, the rosy glandina or rosy
wolfsnail from the southeastern US to run tests on a snail repellent made
from hot pepper extract. We would like to set up a fiberglass panel
exclosure in a Polynesian forest where endemic Partula snails used to occur
and re-introduce them from captive breeding stocks. Unfortunately, the
introduced predator Euglandina is still present in small numbers there. If a
cheap and environmentally friendly snail repellant can be found, the
reserves can be set up inexpensively. Hence the need for the live Euglandina
test snails.
Can anyone supply some live specimens?
Thank you for any help, Roger Klocek
