I didn't find any blue ones at Petco (or any other place for that matter), so I ordered some from Barbara Woodle from Aquabid. They should arrive mid next week. Just wondering if anybody has gotten snails from her besides me?

Never bought from her but congrats on the new snails. Blues are my personal favorite.

Is "Barbara Woodle" their username? Or is it their real name, or both? Yes blues are quite cute, I've got 2.

Woodle is her username, and I am looking forward to those. I have seen some blue ones on ebay as well, but decided to go with the ones from Aquabid....

Hi there Andrea

I would love some blue snails..will you show us the pics when you get them and it was nice to see you on the pet bakery and read about your love for your many animals..phew do you ever get any you time with looking after all your pets Linda

Linda, I need to have a system behind the whole animal thing, otherwise I wouldn't do it. Today I built a 2ftx3ft wooden box for my new sulcata tortoise. I realize it will be too small for her in a few months, but its a start. Aaaand I give everybody some jobs around the house regarding animals, and as my luck will have it, hubby likes to do water changes on the ponds!
I will post some pics as soon as I get them. I will make them a new setup in the house. The other snails are all outside, but the weather is so warm right now, and its so darn hot in the screened in area.
Maria's food is great! My snails went nuts over it, the dog catched a piece that fell accidentally on the floor. But I can't go by his judgement, he eats anything even remotely edible!...

Yes I myself haven't ordered any yet, but I know they love them. My dog will eat snail food (haha.. veggies) and fish flakes, I tried giving her cuttlebone for a while but she spit it out after a while.

New tortoise.. .... he he busy but blessed also LOL..you built it yourself what a woman..hhmm a hammer to me is for knocking nails in the wall to hang pictures..I am no good at DIY at all..yes I know what you mean with the other half and water changes I dont do them thats Daz's job..hhmm he seems to do most things with the tanks too...I am more in tune with the critters I can spot disease and snaily stress att 100 paces..yes thats my job to observe and report
You seem to have good weather too its been better for us in the UK today but it has been cold and rainy for a while now and this is supposed to be our summer grr and its nearly over with before its started..glad your pets enjoyed the grub I have done some of my own but its not as good as Marias but I am getting there..Linda

Isn't it funny what happens sometimes - I didn't find any blue ones in any stores, so I ordered them online. Of course, today I walked into a store I haven't visited in a while, and wouldn't you know, 3 blue snails sitting in a tank with other different snails, mostly golden brigs and ramshorns! And a neat transparent shell at that, so the blue is really nice. So was the price - a laughing 99 cent per snail!
Of course I took them home into my new "snail tank" in the living room, and to my total surprise one laid a few eggs, just above the water surface! All white little shells, maybe 10 of them alltogether! And tomorrow come the ones I ordered online!!....WHY, oh WHY?....

Ohhh Andrea love

You have whats commonly known in the snail world as snailmusthaveus...there is no cure for it and the symptoms will get worse Linda

Thank goodness, there is no cure for it! I don't wonna be cured, EVER!

LOL I dont blame you neither..I have it bad and I dont care I went into my LFS today the one thats in the top 40 :crp and there was a tiny little golden brig in with fish again and in a cold tank and she had a tiny little foot indicating starvation and all her tenticals are missing..well could I leave her there in that place to die could I ...nope..I had to beg Daz as we really dont have anymore room and after a bit of batting of the eyelashes he gave in..I had a word with the young girl in the shop and she was horrified when I told her what was going on with the snails they were selling she said she would talk to the boss..I named the new little one after her..Gemma..and we won a bid on e bay for lots of different coloured snails from the US..I cant wait I have been out today and bought a new tank..am I excited..you bet!! LOL

Im just wondering how many animals you have Andrea, because it really sounds like you have way over 100
Lucky you,yes i have to say that the blue snails are my favorite aswell i also love the black and white ones (kinda like a panda???....)
Any way i can't wait for those pictures where are these guys going (what tank,or pond lol)?
Oh and i have to say that your little tortoise is one of a kind, so cute i can't wait to get my own tortoise ill have to post pictures of him/her
(BTW Congradz on the little guy?)

Okay, update on the new arrived snails - they arrived happy and healthy, and to my surprise, I found 3 extra snails in there - 2 more blue ones, 1 golden apple!!
The seller really packed them extremely well, each pair of snails had their own bag filled with oxygen and double bagged, just like a fish delivery. I have never received any snails in the mail before, so I can't compare to other packaging. This one was awesome tough!
And here are some pictures of the darlings - on the right are the 8 blue ones, as well as the golden apple snail on the left, above 2 of the 3 blue snails I found in the petstore.


They seem a bit dark on the pictures, but they really are a wonderful blue, with very transparent white shells and dark bodies. They are about the size of a nickel and VERY HUNGRY!

Awsome just awsome Linda
