MTS purge time

Hi guys,
I got an overabundance of trumpet snails. I off them at 10 bucks a box anywhere in the lower 48. 2-3 day priority, we can also go large flat rate to get more to you. I got them for my planted tanks and well they do a good job and have graced me with more snails then any one loach can eat in a lifetime( well over 5K in two tanks).

I accept paypal and apologize if this isnt the right spot.

My kuhlis are eating these things all the time and have grown rather large from this and are breeding as I type this.

PM me for more details. I make really no money on this after shipping charges and heat pack and packaging costs. I got the snails for free to being with therefore I dont charge for them yet.( if this gets popular I am setting up 3 MTS only tanks and then charging a few bucks more to cover those costs)

Here is a pic of the first batch I ever shipped, they are smaller right now but I do take prepays or deposits to insure your shipment leaves first. I ship no later then thursday at 11am CDT to insure they arrive on saturday.

Thank you for all the help with my kuhlis before.

quantity of snails is up to the buyer( I will not death pack them into a single box) the box is USPS priority 12x12x8, that can accomidate 1 bag during the winter months(summer they can ship small flat rate or small box) with insulation and heat packs( 24+ hour GRABBER ULTRA WARMER, really last for 27 hours and havnt had a dead snail yet)

I do have large flat rate boxes as well to accomidate multiple bags, I usually wont pack more then 200 in a single bag w/4 cups of water.

Medium flat rate boxes might work but buyer does pay all shipping costs( those are 10.70 to ship and gotta add the extra 3 bucks for materials and warmers) check your USPS pricing and let me know what you want. I am totally open to buyers shipping requirements as well.

Im in this for the hobby not profit, I sell my guppies at 10 bucks a dozen with very very scrutinized prejudice meaning I dont raise garbage, if I wont have it in my tank, I wont put it in yours. my MTS were first hand picked for movement,color, shape and size, they eat what they eat in the tank and twice a week get a fresh slice of zuch.
Yes they are my pets, however I strongly believe in nature and the food chain.

Thank you for your question.

All sold out of the bigger instant food source ones, have tons of babies if anyone is intereted in a colony. double the amount for the same price due to their size. If left long enough, they will grow very fat and 1"+ in length. I am going to establish three colony tanks with 3 cups of baby ones for future use, so I am going to have these ALL the time now, just drop a PM and we can go from there. The shipping prices drop during the warmer months.
