Do you mean that the tank they are in is being moved around? if so I don't suppose they mind at all.

my snails are fine in cars when in tank, although i would not advise it to often in case you brake suddenly and end up with flying snails.

as long as you stop and bathe them with cool water if it is warm, otherwise they will get to hot.

As long as they're kept warm and comfortable, I don't see any problem with snails travelling. I've taken my tank of snails to Buckinghamshire and on to the midlands over Xmas while visiting various relatives, then back down to London. I've also taken my albinos on the train from Leeds to London. They're OK going through the post, so other journeys shouldn't be a problem IMO. Just make sure that the tank is either secured in place, or someone is holding it on their lap - you don't want it sliding around all over the back seat! |
