HI, I just wondered does anybody have any of these for sale? There are a few of us from worldofsnails that are on a hunt for them!

Hiya

Please see the following thread petsnails.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=species&thread=9198&page=1
For reasons explained on there unfortunately for the snails they are fast becoming an endangered species. It is unlikely that any more will be imported, and being as they often don't breed in captivity they are much better off in the wild as long as efforts are made to protect them.
Therefore we aren't going to be seeing many of the up for sale in the foreseeable future.

Good luck in finding them!

Ah that's sad . Thanks for letting me know though

I have some and I imported them from www.polyped.de I bought 3 and only have 2 left, one of them developed a tear in his mantle and he kept falling. They are quite expensive but lovely snails. They love their habitat very moist.

Hi Steve,

have they layed any eggs so we can hope for babies?

Mine are taking a break, unfortunately.

[stevepully]

Unfortunately no eggs, by the size difference in them I think there may be a bit of an age gap.

ihave been offered some of these from a supplier in uruagy who says they can get the same price for just the shells of the snails which is very worrying

That is indeed worrying. There is now a thread to discuss this, but I apologise to you as I have now only just noticed this post.
