Snail overload!!!

[Psychobunny]

Okay, so I got these 3 land snails some months ago, took care of them for a long time, waiting for eggs, and not seeing any.
I almost gave up, then decided to clean the tank and put in some fresh dirt.

That's when I found 3 clusters of eggs in different locations.

I removed the eggs, and transferred them to another terrarium to hatch.

Now, I have tons of these guyz slithering around, and the adults have a fresh egg clusters!!

I am lucky that all 4 of my chams will eat them, but they dont like them THAT much.
I dont know what to do with all these snails!!

I cant sell and ship them because I dont think it's legal, but if anyone who lives in Maryland would like to stop by and grab a few, you are more than welcome

Prolific little buggers, aren't they?

 

[Lathis]

Ah I wish mine bred that fast! Ferdinand eats them as fast as I can grow them!

 

[deadhd5]

I freeze the eggs I don't need and then throw them out.

Where in Maryland are you? I would love to be able to get some of these guys going!

So you guys are saying I should cook up some of mine? Man I'm not sure if I could get over the fact that its a snail.

Lol as long as there edible I don't see why not. If your into it of course. Snails taste vary good.

I know, I used to love them, but after spending time cleaning up snail poop and slimy food scraps, I dont think I could eat another one

I am in College Park.

You should get some large Uroplatus. That is pretty much their favorite food.

I'm in Silver Spring, MD. Is it illegal to ship within the same state? I would love to take some off your hands...

I would love some. My one and only snail that I have left (out of 3) seems lonely!
and your less than a half hour away from me

I think it's legal to ship within the state bounderies, but SS is very close to CP, so picking a few up in person would cost you nothing

Then just PM me, and you can stop by and pick up a few.
I even have some little deli portion cups w/ lids you can put them in

 

[nightcrawler]

I need tons for my false chameleons at work (C. barbatus), but my colony doesn't usually last long. It's nice when you hear 40 lizards crunching snail shells at the same time.

Hey phsychobunny where did you get your snails originally from ?
