Where to buy critters? sue
Hi, John:
I'm in Connecticut, Zone 6. The snails PROBABLY would have done fine, except for an unfortunate mishap. The newly dug turtle pond that I've been working on? Well THAT is where I decided to throw the snails. Couple of days later after days of torrential downpour, my new turtle pond was full of muddy water, since I hadn't quite done all the fine tuning with rock leveling, making sure no run off goes INTO the pond, etc. Sweet hubby volunteered to vacuum out the muddy water with a shop vac while I was busy doing something else, and about three quarters of the way through, a light bulb went off in my head and I shouted "STOP - THERE ARE TINY SNAILS IN THERE!" I was able to find and retrieve 6 of them from the filter of the shop vac, and those are doing fine. Not sure where the other 6 are. They are very small, though, little smaller than the eraser on a pencil. Sue "John Rutz" wrote in message ...
