Does anyone know how to acquire a live Murex (aka Hexaplex) Trunculus sea snail by way of the internet, or phone? To have it shipped to the continental U.S. ?
Thanks,
Eryt

Thanks, Eryt Are you looking for one as a pet? If you are looking for one to extract dye from, I'm afraid we are a forum dedicated to the care of snails as pets, and it's unlikely that anyone here would be willing to supply a snail to be killed and used to make dye. |

Perhaps I should have specified I meant as a pet, not a dye source.

I've never heard of this species before so I googled it later and found out why they use it as dye now.  |

It probably wont be the easiest thing in the world finding one. some online aquarium stores have other murex, but not trunculus specifically.
