Hello, and good day!
I purchased a new land snail recently, and its been in the mail for exactly 11 days now. Good thing is it was packed well, and the little guy (only six months old) was buried in coconut soil as most snail sellers seem to do when sending snails distances. I got an email notif this morning that it is in fact out for delivery and should be at my house soon. The problem is I'm in California currently, and I won't be back home until tomorrow (Saturday) night , very late. My family members are at my house however so they can take the package in and open it if necessary- but I really wish to open it my self and prepare him in his new home.
My question is how long can land snails in general survive buried in dirt? The breeder told me it was possible it went into hibernation but it's not for sure. Can it live in there just two more days (unless I have enough energy to open it Saturday night) without food and whatsoever? Or would it be best to have a relative open it for me and prepare the snail before hand in his terrarium? I am quite anxious about this.
Thanks.
