Assorted Ramshorn Snails

from $2.49
Color:
Quantity:

From this listing, you’ll receive assorted colors, mostly brown & brown leopard, Ramshorn Snails. They are home raised in the personal tanks of both of us here at Gorgeous Gastropods. And we always include a few extras.

Small = approximately pencil eraser size.

Medium = chickpea size up to dime size.

Large = dime size up to quarter size.

These snails are almost as fun to watch as mystery snails. They parasnail, they surf the water tension, they’ll ride around on your floating plants, they boogie all around your tank, AND they actually do a job! These guys eat algae, leftover food, detritus, dead plant debris, and hydra! They also come in lots of beautiful colors, and we include every color we have in our assortments.

Ramshorns reproduce quickly and readily. They make excellent food for puffers and any other snail eaters. We keep our snails in planted community tanks in our homes with fish, shrimp, and other snail species. We’re in the high mountains of Colorado and have fairly hard water. We also regularly dose our tanks with Magic Minerals. Snails require an alkaline environment with a ph over 7 to thrive.

We don’t do returns or exchanges. However, we do have a DOA guarantee. We guarantee live arrival of all of our snails, shrimp, and plants.

In order to receive a DOA refund, we have to receive a picture within 2 hours of delivery (meaning when it was dropped off at the provided address) showing the dead snail hanging limply out of its shell or the empty shells of the snails we sent you. Another acceptable method of proof to receive your refund is to send us a video of you crushing the snail. Refunds are for the deceased creature only.

***SITUATIONS THAT VOID THE DOA GUARANTEE***

1.) Choosing Ground Shipping at checkout. Ground Shipping takes longer to arrive, thus putting more stress on the snails. If you choose a shipping method through the USPS, the DOA is voided.

2.) Package is unsuccessfully delivered on the first attempt (I ship to the address listed with Etsy, it’s your responsibility to ensure the address is correct). If the shipping company is unable to deliver on the first attempt, the DOA is voided.

3.) Not opening your package immediately upon delivery. Once shipped, a tracking number is provided, it’s your responsibility to open it as soon as the package is delivered. If the package is not opened within 2 hours of delivery, the DOA is voided.

4.) Package is lost due to package thief. (If this happens, please contact your local USPS or UPS to file a claim)

5.) Not providing the above, required proof of death within the 2 hour time window. If proof that the snails you received from us arrived dead is not provided, the DOA is voided.

*We evaluate on a case-by-case basis and will make every reasonable attempt to be fair.

We ship live creatures on Tuesdays, so they don’t spend the weekend sitting in a shipping facility. We ship them primarily using FedEx 2 Day shipping.

Orders must be in by 8:00 pm MST (Mountain Standard Time) on Monday in order to ship that Tuesday. Orders placed after that will be shipped the following week.
