Where can I get snails?

[black_sun]

I believe eBay does not allow sale of livestocks. Aquabid would a better place. Try Aquariacentral.com, our sister site. Many members there sell and give away snails all the time.

eBay does allow the sale of tropical fish and aquatic snails (domestic only).

"Provided the seller has the proper Federal (APHIS PPQ) and/or State permit(s) that allows for movement across State lines (and/or for importation into the U. S.), and provided that the seller guarantees in the listing that the animals will be packaged safely, and shipped via next day delivery."

Additionally,

"Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service allows five species of snails to be imported and sold as escargot: Cantareus apertus (Helix aperta), Cryptomphalus aspersus (Helix aspersa), Eobania vermiculata (Otala vermiculata), Helix pomatia, and Otala lactea; and requires their importation to take place through John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York where identifiers will confirm the identity of live snails.

eBay also permits the sale of hatching eggs provided the seller only offers domestic shipping within the U.S."

Anyway, eBay selection is rather lacking and quite overpriced. So, definitely check out Lupin's suggestions of Aquabid and Aquariacentral, there's usually a ton on either site.
