SNAILS WANTED
"jammer" wrote in message
... Well, someone spoke to me about trap door snails. My pond is a 70 gallon baby and i am unsure if ping pong ball sized snails would wipe out all the plants or just the excess algae. It's my understanding the Japanese trapdoor snails don't eat plants, they do eat algae, and since they're livebearers they don't reproduce that often. I started with maybe a dozen two years ago and after a search of 3 ponds today, I *think* I found one! OR, if this would be too small for them. I had some little black snails and that's about all i know. I don't know either.  Gail |

I wasn't sure. The reply appeared threaded to me, but had your email address...lol.
It doesn't take much to confuse me.  What is the best way to mail snails through snail mail? In a jar? I assume overnight?

In a jar? I assume overnight? DeAnna Never done it before. I was going to use several layers of ziploc bags containing pond water, some anacharis, and the snails. But that's a wild guess. Maybe someone else knows. I figured priority mail would be fast enough, but I don't mind being corrected.  Gail |

Put in an ice pack when you mail
snails and make sure you are going to be home when they are arrive. You do NOT want to open a package of cooked snails that have sat in the full sun for hours. Been there, done that! kathy :-) A HREF="http://www.onceuponapond.com/"Once upon a pond/A |
