Land snail rehoming

[clloyd]

Hi all. 3 years ago I was bought 3 land snails as a present. I still have one of the original and a fair few extras ranging in age and size as I was unaware how quickly they would reproduce at 1st. I think my snails are great but unfortunately with a newborn and more job commitments I dont have the time I'd like to get them out anymore. I'm wandering if anyone on here would be willing to take them on for me and give them the attention they deserve. The setup is an exoterra tank which I have insulated all around with cellotex. Theres 3 heat mats and a brand new one ready if one is to break. Theres also a thermostat controller on the heat mats. If someone is willing to take them on I'm happy to simply hand over the full set up as it is ready to go. The snails are achatina fulica I believe and theres roughly 25, roughly half are grey and half are white. Any questions please let me know. I'm happy to deliver to someone or meet halfway within reason. This isnt a decision I've made lightly but I think they deserve to go to someone who will have the time to properly get them out and give them attention. I do keep them clean and fed/sprayed with water daily. I'm located in Shropshire in the UK. Thanks

You might struggle to find someone from here who's local and willing to pick them up (especially at the moment) but you could try advertising on sites like Gumtree or Preloved too. If there's any local reptile/exotic shops near you that have re-opened you could see if they would let you put an ad in the window.
Best of luck!
