Posting Snails

Hi , I may need to post my Sulawesi snails soon if they sell, I know how to post MTS and have received baby Apple Snails through the post, would they be ok in moist kitchen towel in a waterproof container?
Any correspondence greatly appreciated

Hi im interested in your snails.... The ones I have received in he post in the past(from aquatic stores) have come in water not tissue as they are fully aquatic and don't come above the water line. its easy to post them. pop them in a bag with some water. place this in a poly box with newspaper and bubble wrap around the bag for insulation(make sure the bag cant move around in the polybox). Then place in a cardboard box for posting. If you do next day delivery they should be dine kind regards Eva.

i have shipped mystery snails in the past, i would actually suggest cotton balls and lots of them, it will keep them wet, and protect their shells. the greatest problem i had shipping was the snails shells braking to the point it would kill the snail. you want to put as much cotten or paper towels around them to make sure the snail does not move or bump into the sides.

Thats a odd way of doing it.... I always post in a bag with a little water, a drop of prime and a stem plant. Same way I post shrimp. Never gotten any complaints. I make sure the bag has enough air in it so it can't be squished. Same way I pack the fragile plants. Plants are easier though since I can blow the bags up with my breath. I doubt the snails would like that .
