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. 20 + 4 Pink (Albino) Ramshorns... who have made poor life choices Story time! These guys grew up in a good home, a 20G long that had a lot of floating plants in it (no fish). They had good food, an expensive education, frequent waterchanges and a big filter full of crushed coral to buffer the pH. But for some reason a few of these rascals insisted on spending all their time in the floating hornwort. Most of the year it doesn't matter, but in the summer it can cause problems. We had a really hot week in late summer and I wasn't running the lights much trying to keep the room cool. So the plants were releasing carbon dioxide, in very warm water, about 18 hours a day, See where this is going? Carbon dioxide makes the water temporarily acidic. The snails who chose to stay in the hornwort where the water circulation was low had their shells become etched. They are perfectly healthy and the new growth is normal, very good actually, just like their wiser siblings (photo) who didn't live in the plants that hot week. Until the shell grows some more, these will be two toned. This doesn't affect their wellbeing and, with your good care, they will look normal as adults. If there are any of the intelligent non-plant-dwelling college educated siblings left I will choose those first and will be selecting the best looking ones of the etched ones. � � � Photo above was taken October 19th and shows most of the available snails. To see some pics from the past at different ages and in different (normal) lighting, click HERE to expand a slideshow (stays in same window). Any variations are environmental, they are genetically the same. The snails you will receive will be approximately pea sized. Some are breeding, the rest will be soon. And yes, they will breed true. More importantly, they are healthy (and happy?) and ready to be pretty janitors in your tank. FYI, ALL Pink Ramshorns are complete albinos, there is no pink pigment, just their red blood. ALL Pink Ramshorns are brighter in warmer water and more pastel in cooler water, it varies only with how much hemoglobin is in their blood, more in warm, less in cool. ALL Pink Ramshorns have completely colorless shells, quite clear when young then gradually becoming translucent and nearly opaque when they get old. If the shell erodes or is abraded, the shell will appear frosted or even white. Anyone advertising otherwise either doesn't know what they are talking about or is purposely trying to be deceptive, you decide. 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. They will eat soft algae if hungry but live plants only if starving. Temps up to 80F. These make good companions for guppies, nano fish and easy shrimp. � Questions? Click for email. � Term details are on my Just Me page which was updated October 19th, 2015. 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. 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 and divided between multiple bags. The box will be insulated with styrofoam. I am not offering a heatpack or coldpack. No shipping to locations with highs above 85F or lows under 25F. 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 20 for 3 days if ≥30F 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!
