Snails just came in

8$ with free international shipping wow!

I once bought 20 film canisters from China through eBay to use as separation containers to separate my superworms when I want them to pupate.

I bought them for $0.35 total. That's with free International shipping.

Somehow, the Chinese were able to pay someone to make those 20 film canisters AND ship it to me all the way over here in Indiana in America... all for $0.35.

Yet, it takes us $0.49 to buy a stamp and mail a simple first-class letter here in America.

Now granted, my film canisters were not live animals like a snail would be, but my point is still the same: Those foreign countries have wicked good deals on what it costs to ship things compared to everyone here in the United States and what we pay to put things through the mail system.

I don't know how they do it, but I love it! So many good deals can be had from overseas purchases.

I only got 10 because I read they produce a ton of babies and I only have one chameleon lol. Not sure if having more would increase chances of babies.

 

[Dragon1516]

I was gonna get 20-30 just because I have 6 Parsons chameleons that need lots of food. i have lots of different roaches but i have been wanting snails too.

 

[JacksJill]

They are hermaphrodites so just having two snails will give you two breeding pairs. I don't remember if they can self fertilize or not.

Yeah then I would probably get more than 10 lol. The man said they were wild caught so I'm waiting for some eggs to move into a seperate container.

 

[Dragon1516]

Ya thats the best idea And ya I'm gonna need alot of food.
