They will need less humidity, since they are of a drier site.
If you want that he sent you someone, say it to me

Yes I would like to be sent some!
I also need to ask some more questions as well.
What do they eat? Can they eat what Helix Aspersa/Pomatia eat, like cabbage, cucumber, apples etc.
Can Rumina Decollata be made to eat only vegetables and fruits or do they need meat as well?
Do they need a warmer temperature than Britain, like African snails do?
Is there anything else I need to know?
I know I ask a lot of questions but I like to know as much as possible about these things!
Thanks

Do you want me to sit in the corner and rust, or just fall apart where I'm standing?

wow. I love this one. His shell's amazing. It reminds of like a really old fossil. Are they all land snails? They're very different from the any other snails I've seen but they're all beautiful.

I not have rumina decollata live in my house. Please see www.entomology.wisc.edu/mbcn/kyf703.html for information about this snail. The other snails heat the same of H, aspersa and other helicids. I think not have problems with the temperature at the house.

Just read this regarding the Iberus snails from Spain(don't know if it's true,but.......) "IBERUS This family of shells is now protected by law. It is now against the law to collect any living species of this family"

Is there anywhere in the world, bar Antarctica, that doesn't have some kind of established snail/gastropod, even if it is an introduced species?

Sorry if I'm just repeating... I think it's quite impossible to get snails from Brazil if you're not getting them for like a museum or research. At least that's what a guy at Femorale told me when I was looking for some Strophocheilus roseolabris...
