Shipping Information
The cute little ones will travel with a special private overnight animal courier.
As soon as the little ones have been shipped, you will receive an email from us.
They should arrive the following day. Unfortunately, tracking is not possible due to the method of shipping.
We are the only online shop that has a private courier and can offer this service at this price. However, when the snails are shipped depends on a few factors. In order to keep the price low, we can only arrange for group orders to be collected. Please be patient and understanding that this may take a little longer in some cases. We try to ship everything as quickly as possible.
In cold temperatures, they are shipped in Styrofoam with a heat pack. The cost of this is included in the selling price.

The temperature should be slightly warmer. Lime the soil with calcium carbonate – available here in the shop. The terrarium size should be at least 120x50x50cm.
