There are alot of under 18's who love and care for their animals alot more than many other over 18's. I am only 15 and im always caring, loving and finding out stuff about my animals.

It's a personal preference,I'm sure there are people out there who wouldn't mind selling you guys snails.Nobody said any of you weren't caring.

Personally, I'd sell and trade snails with members on here aged under 18, I have done plenty of times already, I dont see any problems in doing so, some of the more established and long time members of this forum are under 18.

Actually Kevin yes what you are saying is true if it was somebody that had been a member for a good while then yes I may consider it.

I'm 17 next Wed, i love my animals immensly, particularly my snails, i think its a matter of personal opinion, some people just prefere not to sell to under eighteens (even the petshops can sell to 16's which does confuse me)
I have done animal care, veterinary and my FC in animal course and am now doing my FD in animal care, plus fostering, boarding and keeping many animals myself.
but you know, people still won't sell to me, its just something you have to accept at the end of the day, theres always people that will sell to you :-)

Seller's prerogative I think really. I don't sell to under 18s, doesn't mean I don't think under 18s as a whole look after their snails, it's just a safety net for me personally. People shouldn't take it personally, as Sarah said there are plenty of people who do sell to children.

my only worry with selling to under 18's is do they have any parental control? what i mean is do their parents know what snails they are buying and will they step in if it gets out of hand and they end up with more than they can handle or will the parents step in if they are not looking after them properly? Also if the parents don't know about the snails, are they being hidden from them and perhaps not kept in the best conditions?
obviously I know some under 18's on here who I would be happy to sell to and have done in the past but each situation needs to evaluated individually but the above would be my main concern with selling to younger members.

I thought i'd post this here, as it'll probably get a lot more views than on the new classifieds section.
I can get more albino fulica, 2-3cm, they would be £14 each, plus £5 postage UK, they would probably be able to be sent in around 2 weeks, the temperature is ok for sending at the moment, (they may need to be sent with a heatpack by then, i'll make sure that they are if the temperature is a lot colder) varying shipping costs for outside of the UK, payment in advance, but fully refundable should anything go wrong. If your interested please send me a pm.

I'll have to speak to the other half, as it's coming up triplets birthdays and Chrimbo, but I could do with a pal for mine. Not sure if I can afford it yet though, I'll have to have a word with him when he gets home.

Yes it's a very tempting offer but as I bought 2 more snails off Eric the other night and 2 chinchillas yesterday I think if I bought anything else I'd be in the dog house.

I just spent £135 on over tank T5 lighting for my 6ft tank, so think I've already passed dog house and moved onto divorce courts.

Nope, spoken to hubby and I'm afraid I'll have to wait for babies in the future. Got other things to get for the fish yet you see, shame - but not the end of the world
