I have a pet rock called rocky and a pet stick called sticky surely they're not easier to keep than them?

Mmmm it's a pretty close call Cheesy I can 100% promise the snail will have more personality than either of them.

Snails are super simple too.  The more you feed and water them... the more active they are.  If they don't get any food or water they just hibernate in there shells.

I regulate snail poo like this with my tanks.  With a 3 week plan they hardly shit ever.

Cheesy What do you mean... my rock and stick have plenty of personality.... they laugh at my jokes, they love my singing, they literally wet themselves at my Simon Cowell impression.

Best thing is they dont need feeding or shit ever and they like to cuddle up at night beside me in bed often under the covers Wink.

I've considered a snail in the past but dont think I could handle the late nights or loud music coming from their room, my teenage daughter already gives me enough trouble with that..

 Grin

Snails are nocturnal, so if you aren't a fan of partying hard at night... the pet rock & pet stick maybe your best options!

Snails are asexual and have sex with each others, so a snails bedroom gets a bit "slimy"! Wink

Ha ha my stick and rock rule the house no chance of any other creatures coming in here especially the late night antics...

I like partying at night but dont think the slimy snails would be welcomed by the ladies my wife lol Grin.

Enough already thanks for the good laugh enjoy your snails hope you get to sell some soon Smiley.

CA may refer to:

California, a state located on the West Coast of the United States
Canada, a nation on the North American continent

They list California, a state, in front of Canada, a country?  lol.  Guess that site is Americanized.

Good luck with your sales sir!  Smiley


It's not Americanized it's alphabetized...don't be so quick to knock down the Americans...Canadians are part of North America too!

Blasphemy!  I'm sure it's #1 cause 'Murica and Canada isn't even a real country anyways!

I'm pretty curious. How do you ship these things? 

44 edge crush test boxes for the outside packaged with coffee filters inside Tupperware inside the box.

The trick is to keep the snails from bouncing off each others shells along the trip.

Shipped via USPS.

Isn't there a rule for shipping live things?

A few.

Fedex and UPS won't ship live snails.

USPS the box needs to be the 44 edge crush test.

Snails can't cross state lines without USDA permission.

mmmmmm that's about all I've been bitched at about thus far Smiley!

If I buy will you provide a good recipe for escargot?

Sure!  I don't cook my own, but I know a bunch of folks who do and who have made recommendations.

Escargot in America at restaurants are complete shit.  The idea of snails being chewy or rubbery is only due to a shitty product being served.

Will you ever expand you shipping to other states, such as TN? For some reason, I feel like i should really buy one of them.

I will indeed.

Regulations in regards to snails are kind of tricky.

Live snails can not be imported into America for any reason.  This prevents SnailsInTheMail from having to compete with a global market.

Live snails must be accompanied with a PPQ permit if they are crossing state lines.  This permit has only been given to 1 person in like 8 years.  Death by regulation per say.

My companies hypothesis is that these snails already exist in all 50 states and once we locate the supplies we will have a monopoly on the industry. (at least for a short period of time... which is why the snails are marked up how they are because I fulled expect farmers and the FEDS to become more snail friendly)

Only looking to branch into one other kind of snail for now and that is the Helix Pomatia.

It has nothing to do with the site being americanized. It is listed in alphabetical order. L comes before N, no?

Bump for snails!

Rofl very strange.

My tank would look crazy in slow motion I imagine.

That is a Giant African Snail I believe.  Those are actually illegal in the United States.  You can get them in the United Kingdom. http://www.snails4you.com/

It's actually not legal to bring any type of live snail into the United States in general.  Kind of a snail monopoly thanks to Big Brother <3

I didn't realise this was actually a thing.
I get loads of snails in my garden during the rainy season Sad

Didn't actually realise what the top picture was in the original post. Great art there. I can't imagine it being too easy to paint on...

When I have a snail painted I actually just send them with my GF to her nail girl at the salon LOL she does a crazy good job and can make anything. If you can imagine a snail costume... she can make it lol.
