Hi everyone,
I have been trying to find snails from the genus Mesomphix for a year long project, but I have been unable to find any, and as a result my professors said I should try to get a hold of a different snail genera like Mesodon for the research.
If you have seen mesodon snails in your area could you please pm me? I really would appreciate the help!
I have a few extra caracolus so we could work out a trade if anyone wants to.

I think that's what my snail is  I found her at lake manawa in Iowa. I'll send you pictures of her |

She has actually laid eggs hopefully they will hatch then I could give some babies to you.

I can relate because Mesomphix cuprea is supposed to live in my province, but I haven't found any yet...  |

What will the snails be used for? Where are you located as I don't believe they are legal to ship?

The mesodon would be used for a feeding study and possible genetic analysis (mainly to help construct a phylogeny). Don't worry though, the snails are not harmed in the process. |

Sounds like an interesting study! Hope you're able to get hold of some |

 Here's mine. Her name is Caramel. Is this the species ? You wouldn't get her as I am very attached to her . I bet I could find some more . As her eggs probably won't hatch for a while |

Yes, that looks very much like mesodon! I appreciate the offer to find some.
And thanks for the replies everyone! I'm more optimistic this project will work better than the mesomphix one!

How will I get the snails to you. Are they legal to ship . I wouldn't be able to drive them to you unless you live close or semi- near Omaha . Otherwise you'd have to come and get the snails. I don't have them yet but I am fairly certain I
can find more. How many would you want ? Sorry about all the questions:)

They're legal to ship in this case since my professor has a permit. I'm in Illinois. I don't think I can drive but I can pay for shipping. Right now I'm open to as many mesodon as anyone can send. No pressure though if anyone can't send them |

Will I be able to get some snails in return? |

They'll mostly live out the rest of their life in captivity with me, unless someone wants them mailed back lol.
I don't have much to trade, but if you pm me we may be able to work something out.

Do you have any drymaeus multillineatus for trade? Hi do you live in Fl? I found a location that has dymaeus in the Miami area that I can tell you. Also, I'm looking to buy any of the species you have and are willing to ship. I have Helix pomatia do you? If not, let me know if you are looking for them. Thanks |

Thanks I made that post but I don't live in Florida . Hoping to get a Pomatia some . All I have is mesodons and Amber snails. Illegal to ship USA unless you have a permit |

I found her at lake manawa in Iowa. I'll send you pictures of her
