Hii everyone . x I have to say that I'm really missing the slimy little things  x If anyone knows anything about posting snails to Turkey in particular I would really appreciate it and knows of those willing to post abroad. I obviously want the snails health in mind and wont attempt it if theres a big risk of them getting lost in the post or whatever. |

I've never sent them that far, but I'd be willing to do so. The problem is that it would be very expensive - parcelforce starts at about £25 for a 5-6 day service. Royal Mail's airmail is about £7 for the same packet, but they don't do airsure (2-4 days) to Turkey so not sure how long it'd take. If it was a hardy species I'd be happy to send them on a six-day journey, with plenty of food and cuttle. Are you after any species in particular? You might be able to find a cheaper service than parcelforce if you shop around a little  |

Thanks so much for your reply, when you say hardy species ? £25 for the post sounds fine x. I would really love a pair of marginatas and an albino would wonderful !! but im doubt there is any available (: , or maybe a white jade I'm not sure, it depends on whats avaible to be honest, I might even consider Fulicas i just really do miss having the tanks and snails around. |

I'd think margies, fulica or retics would be fine - they're all pretty sturdy I've got two young margies, dark and albino, but they're in the 'wouldn't recommend you breed from' catagory due to mixed ancestry, so I'm not sure if they're what you're looking for. I've also got young dark fulica and probably-white-jade-looking fulica. If that doesn't suit but you can find what you want elsewhere, I'm happy to do the packing and sending part I'd have to weigh everything and get back to you with a solid postage quote. |

I would really love the two Margies if that would be okay, I'm not really intersted in hatching eggs so not being able to breed from them wouldn't be a problem for me. If you PM me with the postage quote that would be great Many Thanks x |
