thank you again ^_^ Its crazy how many people want these over at AC...everyone keeps PMing me wanting to know when they are for sale!! ...

how do you ship snails without a breather bag?

roll them up in a wet paper towel and put them in some sort of container - a plastic bag without water, or one of those plastic baby food containers or something. As long as it's not chock full of water

Would be nice if breather bags weren't so pricey...

how long will they be ok like this? some people are across the country,

I was thinking of a bag full of air with enough water to keep the moist ..what is the purples of rolling them in the wet paper towel? (just curious..i have no clue)

It prevents collisions and guarantees they stay wet. If they're just rolling around in a bag you'll get chipped shells or worse.

They should be okay like that for 2 - 3 days. That's how I got my first batch - rolled in paper towels and stuck in a plastic bag. I think I only lost 2 or 3 out of 17.

alright... i will try this! ^_^

If they all die you heard it from someone else Seriously though, it worked for a batch of snails I bought years ago.

mmm I might be able to get a hold of breather bags

That's what I'd do.

..I love tanking pics of these guys
