making a movie with a snail in it

[estelaha]

Hi!

We're making a short movie (in London) that requires a pet snail + its
tank. I'm not planning to buy one through the internet, because I
can't adopt it later. Unfortunately :/
I wanted to borrow one from some Pet Shop (or even rent it!)... and
after the shooting hand it back to them, so the snail won't suffer
(I'm a vegetarian, also an animal lover). It doesn't need to be a Pet Shop, it could be YOU!
We will be shooting next week (Monday and Tuesday).
Can any of you help us? Please?
Thanks a lot!
Estela

What kind of snail are you looking for? A bog basic garden snail or a GAlS, or something else?

What will the movie be about? I'm curious.

Oh, Gee! I don't know the type! It can't be too small...In our movie, the main character loses his job and starts to believe in luck and things like that, but after a while he realizes that it is he himself who shapes his life by the way he wants it to be. This guy has a pet snail in the story

We would love to have the snail + owner on set. We provide food during the shooting days (2!) and can also give some help with transportation.

Anybody interested?

I would offer mine, but they are wild snails and very small. Probably not good for your shoot.
