Looking for some Apple Snails the bigger the better. My daughter picked one up at the auction but it was DOA.

Some people probably still use the old name they were sold as, and AFAIK a mystery snail is a type of 'apple snail.'

That aside, where are you located Rob?   That will help us know who to send you to.  I see an ad on Craigslist pop up sometimes from someone breeding them but I can't find the link right now and it might not be near you.  Also one of the LFS near me usually has them for a couple dollars.  I'm not sure what price range you're hoping for.

I had some babies but I think that they are all gone now.  Shrimp got a hold of them.  Sorry I would have liked to have given you some.  When I counted I had 30 living but I do not see them in my refugium anymore.

I'm in Canton but as Blair indicated, Fins is my local watering hole. :)

I bought one labeled as an Apple Snail at the auction yesterday but it was dead in the bag. Any help would be appreciated.
