Hello all,

The ant conversation is going so well that I wanted to ask a related question.

Do people have a source for land snails in their state?

Land snails (such as the brown garden snail - Helix aspersa), used to be
available and were incredibly popular in certain elementary science units.
As of last year, they became regulated, and cannot be distributed
interstate.

Do people use local suppliers now that they can't be sold by Carolina
Biological? Have people found other alternatives to the brown garden snail?

Thanks,

Fred
