snails air/water breathers/shipping
Xref: kermit rec.ponds:141538
I zipped by a message and thought I got the gist of it, on snails and water or air, then got into the creationist thread, clicked on the wrong button and crashed. (In the beginning there was water, then God created land and all the trouble began... hey, it rhymes!) Anyway! Some snails breath air, they come up to the surface, load up on a lungful of air and head back down again. Some snails 'breath' water. They have a gill that extracts oxygen from the water. The trick is knowing which snail you have (when shipping) the best resource to ID snails that I have found to date is my favorite little Golden Book PONDS. B&N usually carries it but it is not being printed anymore. But thanks to the internet B&N always has a listing for all the used bookstores that carry it. When in doubt use a large bag, fill it half full of water and half full of air, add an ice bag and ship the zippity option. kathy :-) A HREF="http://www.onceuponapond.com/"Once upon a pond/A |
