wanting apple or trapdoor snails have anacharis pond plants

[kaleido]

I want some larger snails for my outdoor ponds.  I have tons of anacharis (can offer it by the trashbag full),  gambusia (mosquito fish), bullfrog tadpoles.  a few water lilies, lots of bog and pond plants (drawf paparus, dwarf umbrella palm, water clover, taro, weedelia.  We are in the Spring/Champions area. If you have no interest in trading can you let me know what you want for the snails you have.

Thanks.

Is your outdoor pond heated. I have some Pomecea Haustrum but right now theyre only 1/4 - 3/4" round.[/quote]

Those would be ideal.  The pond is not heated but it is 2500 gallons so it keeps its temperature well even during the winters.  My koi pond is about 7000 gallons.  You can view some old photos of the pond at  http://new.photos.yahoo.com/koiboyko...60762337737164
 If you are not interested in trading what might you want for your snails and what part of town are you located.

I dont have many right now, maybe 20-25 babies. I do have 3-4 Larger ones (2-3" round). The larger ones shells arent in great shape. I think the babies tried eating the parents shells when they were first born.

The babies shells are all in good condition. These snails sell for $2-5 each at Dime size. I would be willing to sell them for $1 each(babies). 20 for $15(babies). adults ($5 each)

I would prefer trades but your price seems fair. How big are your "babies"?  The 20 for $15 seems like the best deal for me as they will grow quickly in a pond.

Ok i took a closer look for you.

They are mostly at or just over 1/2" Diameter at theyre widest point. I have one thats almost an inch diameter. You can have the incher and 19 around 1/2" for $15.

They are growing really quickly in my aquarium, and should eventually get to a diameter of 4-5".

Heres a link to a page about the Haustrum.

If your interested we can meet up halfway between Kingwood and Spring.
