Will have Apple Snails in a couple if days! I will have about 100+ snails. Each snail will be $1. If you order a lot we can work out a deal. Shipping to US only. Shipping will be 5.80 for small flat rate box.
 
Look into the regulations for shipping apple snails - many varieties are illegal to ship across state lines.
 
No problem. It sucks, but I don't want you getting caught or fined. I think you have to get a permit or something to sell them. They are an invasive species.

I wish I could get one or two! They are illegal to buy here too... :-(
 
Are you sure they're apple and not mystery snails? I don't think mystery snails are illegal, and from what I read somewhere the other day, apple snails are uncommon in the hobby.

They could possibly be mystery snails.
 
I wish I could remember where I read about this. It was just yesterday. Basically it said that apple snails grow to the size of apples and eat pretty much anything, including plants. Mystery snails grow to the size of a golfball and will only eat detritus.

They are uncommon because the are considered an invasive species and are illegal to own in most states.

Apple snails are true omnivores are will eat anything. Mystery snail eat primarily Plant detritus ( dead plants) .
 
I dont know if this will help but heres a pic of my golden mystery snail next to a random apple snail. Not sure if its the same species of apple snail that grows as large as an apple since ive never found one that large but it does eat plants. And its shell if taken care for and not just living in the wild has a dirty golden color to it.
