I doubt it, I think its just to show the different animals found in the West Indies.
......

EDIT

You meant the corrie business site didnt you?

I thought you meant the kingsnake.com one, yeah the corriebussinesgroup looks like they'll sell to europeans, probably need licenses though, I'd guess they have a high minimum order as well.

Not to pick, but fulica is mispelled Fulicia in your signiture it isnt a capital letter in fulica either.

[Ben snail]

[sezzy5889]

yeah well i like capital letters and i can't be arsed to change the spelling

I wouldnt personally, what blonde snails do you have? Achatina dimidiata?

Do you think the Caracolus you saw are a different species to the ones I have?
