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.

40+ Mixed Snails

Some will be Physa acuta (pond snail, bladder snail, these have skinny antennas), some will be the unmistakable Ramshorns and there may be a few Lymnaea (also called pond snails, pudgy antennas, football shaped shell spirals in the opposite direction from Physa). �Many will be big enough to breed, and I do select the larger ones first simply because they are easier to pick up. But none will be at maximum size as old snails don't ship well. I am calling this 40+ but will put as many in the box as I can safely, usually 60+. Whenever I can I also include some eggs to help jumpstart your snail colony.

This group is appropriate for ponds or as feeders for puffers. �I do not advise using this group as a cleanup crew with pet fish, if that is what you want all ramshorns would be better. �Check my other auctions or email if that is what you want. This auction is for a mix of species.

You can raise them together and let whichever prefers your conditions take over or divide them and culture separately. �The auction winner will also receive comprehensive care info (downloadable and printable) before the snails are shipped. Briefly, no acidic water, no soft water.


Term details are on my Just Me page which was updated May 2nd 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.

Shipping is 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, not the post office price. I ship to PO Boxes if it's Confirmed Address.

This will be shipped in an insulated box with a generous amount of water. The insulation and large volume of water will greatly slow temperature changes and should be sufficient protection against brief exposure to hot or cold. It is not enough for warm conditions, no shipping to locations with highs of 80F and up. � Check your forecast!

Shipping will be delayed if extreme weather may endanger the snails, ...it's a hobby not an organ transplant!

LAG for 40 snails for 3 days if >25F and <75F.

Some of my other auctions may be combined with this for savings on shipping costs.


Thanks for looking and GOOD LUCK!
