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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [log in to unmask] - a forum for informal discussions on molluscs To leave this list, click on the following web link: http://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=conch-l&A=1 Type your email address and name in the appropriate box and click leave the list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
