lol now what do you think i should do personally I wouldnt trust them to send the snails they say they have, they would probably send fulica, or margies and tigers no matter what you order.

I'm gonna take a guess at 1 being Sherman, the baby looks like Bob is it? and 4 being Guinevere. I'll probably be totally wrong lol I'd stay well away. And then I'd tell them in not so nice terms to stop stealing photos lol but that's me Sorry Teresa, mouse played up and I deleted my post by mistake instead of editing lol

If he said that he´ll send the snails first, I would take the risk, if not forget it. About the pictures, it may look strange, but some african dealers only want to show the snails they have using the online pictures to not have to take pictures by their own, because most don´t actually have a camera. Anyway he´ll be lying if he says that was him that took the pictures. But to make things more unclear, unfortunately most of swindlers use online pictures as well, so sometimes it´s hard to say if he´s saying the truth or not. I would hardly believe that he has A. craveni, but he might has another specie, and think that´s A. craveni. But if he says that he´ll send the snails before payment I would take the risk. But first you really have to know what he has. Tell him to take real pictures and not from the internet.

They both talk Bantu Idioms. I hope they send a lot of snails and other inverts for us. ;D ;D Prepare your zoo to get even bigger, Felix...

I hope you have ordered some for me too. ;D Sorting out Western Union is pretty easy. You can get that through the online site. Just have to fill in all the information and make a phone call and that's it. (But no mobile phone or withhold land line as they need to verify the details.) Or you can go to any Western Union branches and buy from there, but to me that's a real pain 'cos not all cities have Western Union. IF he really sends you the snails, I will help you to sort out the payment.

I had contact with a dealer and he said it was all free - But then asked for the shipping money first. I smelt a rat so didnt go any further.

The top pic is Vernon (I think - Kathy's old margie), the albino baby is Bob, and the last pic is Boo (who was mine for a while but is Kathy's now and has been for months). I dont mind him borrowing my one as long as he's not pretending it's of the snails he has. Sorry I took so long to reply, I was catching those pesky varicosa I found in the deepest darkest jungle, and had to get a swift plane home to reply
