Snails; Has anyone tried using this source?

[rhacoboy]

I am considering ordering a colony for my Uroplatus colony...
I was wondering if any of you guys have ordered from this source before and if anyone has had problems with parasites in their snail colonies?

On a side note, I introduced my Sikorae groups today, witnessed breeding in one of my trio's . Henkeli will be introduced when I get my new cages in, and Phantasticus will follow.

Thanks,
-Armen

I never had much success feeding them to my collection. I've seen many pics of Uroplatus and other taxa relishing them, but my own experience has been rather disappointing.

my animals (not only uroplatus ssp) never accepted the flat and also the conical shelled species

only had a guentheri that would dive to eat some small conical aquatic snails

Ain't the shell too hard?

Seems bogus to me, haha. There are also many regulations against the shipping of snails across state lines.

Hi Everyone,
I have been speaking with the person who sells them for the past couple of days. Seems legit to me.

He is sold out for the time being, but is contacting me when he has more available, which should be within the next couple of months. I will let you guys know if I end up getting them and how they work.

Thanks,
-Armen

I have used Helix aspersa so far, of different sizes, from a local snail breeder; guentheris, henkelis, fimbriatus and sikos all eat them readily, the only species I keep which ignored them is lineatus, but I only have a pair of the latter
