PM re Rabbit Snails

Chris, I'm looking for £15 plus p&p on Special Delivery only if posted. I won't know the total cost until I've done more research.

I've never posted any livestock before. Some of this group were posted to me in damp kitchen roll within small sealed bags two years ago, while most of the "golden" and "orange spotted" survived, virtually all the "yellow antennae" group were DOA. Consequently, I'm planning to send them in a few fish bags containing tank water, but given how the weather is getting cooler I will probably need to buy a heat pad as used for tropical fish (which will delay postage a little).

 

[ChrisCook]

No problem - if you can post by Wednesday that would be perfect as I'm on holiday from Friday.
You should be ok to post by putting them in a few fish bags and then in some kind of tub (like an ice cream container)

 

[N0body Of The Goat]

These heat pads may take some time to arrive, for instance http/www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIHEAT-30-HOUR-SHIPPING-HEAT-PAD-SNAILS-FISH-REPTILES-/150500172365?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Fish&hash=item230a82624d quote 6-8 days and without a car, obtaining them locally is not going to be easy. Do you happen to know if Pets At Home stock them?

 

[Tizer]

#29###, i should read this forum more often, wish you had told me in my recent post about them that you were planning to sell!

 

[syd_the_rabbitsnail]

I use the heat pads that you use for back pain etc. you can buy them from wilkos for 99p for 2. If you bag them up in a some water and then in a small tub.. wrap in bubble wrap and place on the heat pad, they will be fine This is how i send mine. I have not had any doa's this way. hth.

 

[N0body Of The Goat]

Thanks for that, syd, I will try my local chemists.

Tizer, read your recent post again mate about your Rabbit Snails, I clearly wrote I have been advertising these locally on AC for months and ought to advertise here too. I was trying to give you a heads up days before I finally composed the advert.

 

[Tizer]

Oh yeah, so you did, doh. Oh well

 

[N0body Of The Goat]

Just an update to say that I now have some heat pads (as per Syd's suggestion) for anyone wanting to receive the Rabbit Snails by post (Special Delivery only for guaranteed 1pm deadline attempted delivery next day). They were £3.29 for 3.

Sadly camera work to get photos did not happen today, not been a very productive day off besides moving my Ilyodon xantusi teenage parents and then finding ~29 of their offspring in the old tank.

 

[ChrisCook]

I'll take the snails please if you can post today or tomorrow
Thanks,
Chris

 

[N0body Of The Goat]

Chris, Can you send me £22 by Paypal, please? I will PM you the details.

I'm presuming these are going into a peaceful tropical tank?

My plan is to get them in the post late this afternoon.

 

[ChrisCook]

Hi Steve,
Paypal sent and I've PMd you with my address.

They are going in to my tank which only has Sterbai Cory and Cherry Shrimp - can't get much more peaceful than that

Cheers,
Chris

 

[ChrisCook]

Just received the snails - nicely packaged and arrived in great condition. Top seller

Major thread revival!

I've updated what fish are now available several months on and some fish are now offered free under certain conditions, as I need to be able to clear my Rio240 to use it as a quarantine tank, for several African species I am about to reserve.
