Looking for sellers/breeders of Lissachatina Reticulata.
I am looking for a dark/normal flesh adults roughly a year or so old 10 months youngest. Must be eating well, growing properly and an acceptable size for its age.
Please also if history can be made known and I will ask to see pictures of size and condition of any snails available.
Having a tough time tracking them down any info of availability or even a way to get in touch with sellers would be greatly appreciated
Thank you,
Pam.

Hi there, The species you are looking for is quiet difficult to get ahold of at the age range you are after (or at least it is in England). Despite the fact that the brown fleshed reticulata is the common reticulata, sadly not all that common in England. Not the size you requested, but like I said their not that easy to find. You could have bought some babies and successfully bred your own by the time you found them at the age you are looking for.
I have used snails4you before, can can tell you from experience, their stock is of the highest quality. If you do further pursue your quest to find them at an older age and are successful, ensure you request photo evidence of healthy shell growth, before ordering, as years of inbreeding (particularly in this species) causes the shell to grow very brittle. I could name some breeders who have allowed this to happen, but cannot name and shame on this forum (have tried and have been warned). |
