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 have group orders picked up. Please be patient and understand 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 with Styrofoam and a heat pack. The cost for this is included in the selling price.
Information about the snails
Lissachatina fulica is the most commonly kept species of agate snail. The reason for this is – it becomes very tame and forgives the odd keeping mistake. However, it lays a lot of eggs. You must be able to deal with this. This species lays 150 – 500 eggs; look for clutches: every week.
They originally come from the rainforest in Africa. Therefore, they need high humidity and a high temperature. See details.
Details
The snails live up to 10 years. And can reach a shell length of up to 12 cm. The exact designation is: Lissachatina fulica leucistic.
Keeping tips
This species needs: 80% humidity
The temperature during the day is 25 – 26 degrees and at night 22 degrees. Lime the soil with 95% calcium carbonate. The minimum size for the terrarium for a small group of adult snails is 100x40x50cm. Different snail species must not be kept together in one terrarium. The recommended group size for this species is min. 3 animals.
