Check your extended forecast and consider the weather before bidding. Please read entire auction and updated Just Me before bidding. Shipping to contiguous 48 states only, (CONUS, not AK, HI, or PR). Tips for a Successful Transaction Read all the information the seller provides so you can make a smart decision. Sometimes there cannot be a TL;DR. If you still have questions after reading everything, or have any special requests, ask before bidding. What you want may not be possible. Check your email, including spam. It's our only means of contacting you. Read the entire email, the last sentence may be a question. Not replying can delay shipment. If you are having trouble receiving emails, you can see messages sent to you through the AquaBid messaging system by going HERE and entering your Username and Password. Make sure the email and physical addresses on file with AquaBid and PayPal are up to date and correct. Check your 10 day weather forecast. Most problems are caused by temperature extremes, both hot and cold. The seller cannot make the package arrive on a certain day. Priority Mail doesn't have a guaranteed delivery date, it usually takes 2 or 3 days to arrive but may take longer. 12 + 3 Mystery Snails - Rainbow Mix That's right, I am going to send you ALL 8 of the colors! The first 2 photos below were taken in August, the rest were taken Sept 30th and show many of the available snails. They are different ages and sizes, at the time of the photos they ranged from small pea to over marble sized, dime for scale, and are growing fast. � � � � � � � � � � � light foot gold base red stripes Ivory ✔ Pink ✔ ✔ Gold ✔ ✔ Chestnut ✔ ✔ ✔ Blue Purple ✔ Jade ✔ Walnut ✔ ✔ The winner may double the auction, at least 2 of every color, for $18 plus the difference in shipping (4lbs instead of 2lbs). No, I will not make substitutions, no I will not send all pink or purple. You will get a mix of 8 colors that reflects what I have most of (purple) and fewest of (ivory). If you want more of a single color or a custom assortment, email or check my other auctions. I do combine shipping. Why buy baby Mysteries? So you will enjoy their entire lifespan. They don't live for years and when you buy large or adult snails they may only live a few more months. Also, any time a Mystery experiences a change in environment they are very likely to experience a change in the appearance of the new shell growth. It's harmless but can detract from the beauty of the shell. With these babies, that change will be quickly hidden as new shell growth wraps around to cover it.. And let's face it, they are way cute when they are this small and you can see them grow up. These do need veggies in their diet. Collard or dandelion greens are great choices. Green beans and peas are good too. Plain lettuce doesn't really have any nutritional value (except Romaine). Spinach contains oxalic acid which prevents the calcium from being bio-available so I don't recommend it as a staple food. They will eat some soft algaes but I would not call them a serious algae eater, regardless of what others may say about how they will end your algae woes. They like to clean up fish food which has fallen to the bottom. This is important if you ever overfeed. You do not want old food rotting in the tank with the chance that a fish might try to eat it. It's a misconception that snails eat fish poo, sorry, it doesn't work like that. They DO NOT eliminate the need to clean the tank or do waterchanges. Putting too many in a tank will increase the maintenance needed, more isn't better. Suitable tankmates include most gentle community fish. Most loaches and cichlids are poor choices. Even if the snail is not killed outright, constantly having their antennas or bodies nipped at will make their lives miserable. In a suitable environment, mystery snails are active. A shrimp tank is heaven for them and the shrimp ride around on them. The winner will receive a comprehensive care sheet which can be downloaded and printed if desired. Briefly, no acidic water, no soft water, no big fish. Temps up to 80F. These make good companions for small & nano fish and especially easy shrimp. � Questions? Click for email. � Term details are on my Just Me page which was updated August 24, 2014. Read it before bidding. Payment is through PayPal only (you do not need an account, just a credit card), no e-checks. When paying with PayPal, you must use a shipping address, my account is configured to only accept PayPal Confirmed Addresses and I only ship to the address given in PayPal. Priority Mail shipping is just postage for 2 pounds from 01888, $5.32 to $9.97 depending on zipcode. You can check that cost yourself at usps.com, it will be much faster than asking me for a quote, use the online price (Regional Rate Box A), not the post office price. I ship to PO Boxes if it's Confirmed Address. The snails will be in a generous amount of water in poly bags and the box will be insulated with silver mylar skinned 3/4" styrofoam. Price does not include heatpack/coldpack. I will NOT ship to locations with lows ≤45F in this packaging. These are truly tropical and can't handle really cold conditions during shipping like some other snails can. Shipping with a heatpack will be more expensive, potentially a lot more expensive, there isn't room to just add a heatpack in a Regional A box. If you are in a location with chilly nights email BEFORE BIDDING to discuss your options. Local pickup can be arranged at 462 Washington St Woburn MA 01801, weekdays, late afternoon. Shipping will be delayed if extreme weather may endanger the animals, ...it's a hobby not an organ transplant! LAG for 12 for 3 days if >50F and <85F. The + quantity is extra and not covered by LAG. Some of my other auctions may be combined with this for savings on shipping costs. � Thanks for looking and GOOD LUCK!
