A more tolerant snail type that survived the journey. They aren't out of the woods yet though as they are not as active as expected. Half of the tortoise shell snails delivered died.
Received 2 large and active snails
Bought 3 of these guys. Very active overnight ploughing through the substrate.
Very happy with my snail he was out and about shortly after I put him in the tank and has been doing great for over a week now, he’s a great size
Well packaged and fast postage. Great snail. Started moving almost straight after I floated the bag to level temp and put him in the heated tank. They have an opperculum if anybody needs to know. My turtles can’t get at him like the bladder snails I had. Also bought a purple mystery which stayed immobile for a couple of days, but started moving around and hasn’t stopped since I got them a couple of weeks ago. I would definitely buy again if I require anything else.
