Assassin overload!

[FionaB]

Hi,
First time posting.
I have a couple of small tanks mainly for my shrimp. I had a bit of a problem with pest snails so I got a few assassins which I really like anyway and now suddenly I have loads! I have had one tank for a few years and never had any babies but my newer one has a different substrate so maybe better for breeding?
Anyway I'd like to sell them on, I used to sell shrimp on the PFK forum but now its shut down and facebook don't allow live sales.
Anyone have any experience of posting snails? Would a little tupperware box be alright for them as long as the temperature isn't below freezing? I was thinking of charging £1.50 each or 4 for £5 do you think this is fair?
Thanks all suggestions welcome.

I don’t have experience posting snails, but I have plenty of experience posting other items.

Good pictures are key. Blurry pictures are less appealing to buyers. Make sure to have a good description. Age, color, etc.

I’m seeing anywhere from $2 - $5 per snail online. I would go for $2 a snail, $5 per 4 snails. You could get some nice bulk sales with that.

Are you planning to sell to your LFS? It’s worth a shot.

Hi

will the assassin snails be ok in this kind of substrate/carpet? Noticing quite a few unwanted guests.

I'm sure they would, they might dig down under it.
