Hi,
don't know whether I got everything right. I think, mostly it is better to buy snails from private breeders (even my preferred way of getting new snails), but sometimes a purchase by shop is necessary.
But nevertheless, I had just a few experiences with shops: One was with bristolinverts.co.uk, a shop located in england, where you can order mainly terrestrial snails
I bought my White Jades there, nice and detailed contact, good packing and fast processing after payment (payment was via paypal). Due to my experiences I would recommend this shop, I'm hoping for the possibility to order there again (if there's something nice, hehe...
)
I know a german shop, too, which is also having much of terrestrial snails, but as my experiences with that shop are *hum* difficult to explain...
I won't recommend this shop unlimited...
In germany we have some retailers, too, who often have giant african land snails in their sales mix... this people are mainly met on exchange, but some do also send by mail. And again, I don't know whether I would recommend them (high prices, short contact, bad condition of the animals,...)
So mainly I can't sign that there are so few shops with terrestrial snails... at least here
Best regards,
