Live Pet Juvenile Spanish Land Snails (Milk Snails) for Coral Reef Conservation!

Description

The Goal:
The
Sympathetic Snail Company
strives to raise awareness and donations for various environmental organizations with the help of our educational pet snails. When you purchase a snail from us, 10% of the proceeds are donated directly to a green cause. This month’s featured organization is
Oceana
, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making our oceans as “rich, healthy, and abundant as they once were.” Check out https://oceana.org/ for more!

The
Spanish land snails
(also known as
milk snails
) offered here are the young offspring of my own two snails, Ranger and Enzo, whom I have raised and owned for over a year and a half. The scientific name for this species is
Otala lactea
, dubbed by Otto Müller in 1774. However, archeologists have discovered evidence of typical land snails up to 260-350 million years old,
twice
the age of the ever-so-famous
Tyrannosaurus rex
.
Milk snails are highly educational and fascinating pets that can live for up to
7-10 years
in captivity with easily attainable care requirements. The snails offered here currently measure around
10mm
(0.4 inches) but can grow a shell up to
35mm
long (1.4 inches) when fed a proper and plentiful diet of veggies, fruit, and calcium.
Please feel free to send us a message with any questions, and we will get back to you within the next 24 hours.
Live Snail Guarantee:
In the tragic and unfortunate case that your snail does not survive transit to your home, we will replace the lost snail at no charge.
Please
message us directly or text the phone line printed on your invoice if your snail arrives deceased.
ATTENTION:
Due to their invasive nature, it is
HIGHLY DISCOURAGED
and even
ILLEGAL
in some areas to release nearly all snail species, including
O. lactea
, into local ecosystems. In alignment with our efforts to protect the environment, please do not release our snails after purchase. Thank you for helping us heal the planet!
