South East? Where is that? I'm from Bradford. How much is shipping if so? Also I'm not sure how to look after GALS, not sure if they are very different from Garden Snails, C. Aspersum. First time having GALS.
Oh, since GALS are quite big snails, if I take two in how big of a container I would need? Possibly one will be lonely for it.

Have you tried taking them to your local RSPCA? I really don't want to see these poor babies euthanized D: I know it's not much, but I'd be willing to take a pair off your hands.

I don't think my local RSPCA has ever dealt with snails before but I'll try emailing them to ask. Euthanasing these babies is the last thing I want to do as well, especially with how old they are already but I'm already keeping back as many as I can. Thank you, could you pm me your address and I'll get them to you asap

This is the last chance for anyone wanting these babies, even if you can only take one it'll be a great weight off my shoulders, otherwise I'll have no other option but to euthanise them :c

Try eBay or on local facebook groups? Can't this forum try to at least help you? If you have no choice, how will you euthanize the snails? How old are they?

I'm sorry but I've tried every avenue I can with these, I'm going to university in a week and I have no other options. There's no way I can expect my family to take care of twenty baby snails alongside my 6 others and my other pets, we don't have the space nor the funds. I'm unsure yet, I've been researching ways to do this humanely and I will make it as painless as possible for them, they're just over a month old

I'm still waiting for you to post some babies out to me :c If money is an issue I can send money to cover the postage. I really wish I could take more, but I don't have the room. If I can only save two, at least that's something.
You can also put them on gumtree and preloved, make sure to mention you're willing to ship them out to people.

I understand these kinds of species can't just be released into the wild but if there is no other choice, hope it will be painless as possible for the babies. Tried a zoo? I know it may sound nuts but I'm trying too.

Your pair are being sent out today, I'll link you my paypal for postage once I've sent them as I don't currently know how much it'll come too. TheOnlyTherian I had a look on the website for my nearest zoo but I couldn't find any email address to ask about the snails, I don't think they'd take them anyways
