I took some on a couple of years ago due to similar circumstances. Very tasty they were too. |

Julie | Don't worry Julie, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to do it, I ate a whelk once and that was enough, let alone massive snails............ |

Try asking your local pet shop if they can suggest somewhere or take them off your hand themselves.
Do not release into the wild.
Cheers,
Adam | I was going to say the same... they don't need to breed do they, like stick insects, I remember I ended up with hundreds. One of those problem pets that you think will be easy to look after and ends up being a nuisance. They're a delicacy in Africa, the snails that is.

Adam | Hermaphrodites like Snails are not Parthenogenetic so they still need fertilization from a different individual. |

Hi there chrylisa,
I keep land snails myself!...You may find these sites and forums VERY helpful.... Keeping Pet Snails & Slugs - Snail & Slug Care, species, health & much more... PetSnails Forum - Home SuperSnails - Home
I highly recommend reading through their info!! If you don't want to separate them then the only course of action is to remove and freeze the eggs as soon as they are laid......I personally think that snails function better when they have their own company.
You may find that the snail forums could also help with the rehoming of the young snails....  |
