if youve got 82 bloody snails you dont want any more!!!!! you'd never sell them all! freeze them, trust me.

Why didn't you freeze the first lot?  Or ask about it lol. You're probably gonna have a hard job selling those snails. Freeze the new eggs. I freeze mine all the time. I don't have room for anymore of the snails that are laying them. I've only kept some if I've had room for them. The rest have been frozen. |

Freeze them Daniel - honestly lovey, you're not hurting baby snails, they've not even begun to develop yet - its just like you eating chicken eggs.....there's nothing in there. Scoop them into a bag and stick them in the freezer for a day or so, then take them out and bin them!

Ahhh I see. I didn't mean to sound like I was shouting at you or anything in that post btw. So sorry if it did lol.
There is the snail shelter you can give some too if you can't find homes. Or maybe Sarah will want some more... lol

If you have a reptile shop near you, you should be able to take them in. I did that once (years ago, very shameful, missed a load of eggs and some hatched  ) and the shop fed them to quite a few of their lizards and gave me a bag of substrate for them! |
