Dear Wim,
I am yet to go into land snail, would be glad if your manual can help.
Would be trying to collect some snail on Mount Kinabalu and also had sent
out news for the people who live near the jungle to collect for me. If you
ever visit Borneo (SABAH) please do not hesitate to contact me. Will send
you some snails if I have.
Thank for your help.
SIM from Sabah, Borneo.
