- 🐾Unboxing LIVE SNAILS from EBAY! | Otala Lactea/Milk Snail Pet Snail UNBOXING! This is one of the few times that I have ordered live animals online, and I must say, I was impressed! The Milk Snails all arrived alive, and I don't think that you guys can blame me for missing those extra two snails the first time around, they were UNDER THE MOSS! That and the fact that I was only expecting 5, haha!🐾

Since I didn't clarify in the video- I figured I'd leave this comment here to make sure that no one is confused...
I only ordered 5 snails, the seller sent 7 because he said that "some *may* perish during transit", however, my package arrived early, and so thankfully ALL of the snails arrived quick and healthy!
As you guys can tell in the video, once I took out the 5 snails on top, you couldn't even tell that there were 2 MORE IN THE CUP! They were blending in to the moss, but luckily they were found only a few minutes after the other snails were setup, and they ended up being perfectly alive as well!
All is well in snail world! 🐌 Do you have a pet snail (aquatic or terrestrial)?
Dude can we get a update on the snails? I have been checking into them. I want a different type of pet. Snails are chill
Im getting two milk snails for my birthday. I love snails they are so cute and easy to care for!
I have like 13 or 12 garden snails
Can you give me the vendor link on Ebay please
I got a few big lissachatna fulica & their babies too.
1. Snails make a film around the entrance of there shell when they go to hibernate or in poor conditions they can live up to 6 month without food or water inside there shell
2. To wake up milk snails simply remove the film and run them under room temperature water then place them on there tank and mist it with water they should wake up within 10-30 minutes
3. Do NOT put anything hard in there tank they can and will break there shells it better to be safe than sorry
4. Unless your snail retracts deep into there shell where you can't really see them and they smell bad there likely dead otherwise give them sometime to come back out
This is all true accept snails can actually live 8 months, but likely hood is if they go without food this long, they'll eat each other's shell and that's not good for the other animals, the hard things however in the tank, is half and half as they'll possibly turn around whilst falling and land on their foot, and as long as its only the front of the snails shell that breaks, they'll be fine as it will just grow back. But then you'd have to put them in alchohol if it's in the middle.
You probably shouldn't remove the film as they put energy into making it, they usually do that as a response to when the conditions aren't correct and wake up by themselves when you correct the conditions (temp,humidity)
Your goldfish looks incredibly happy!
They are so cool😌 I’m so glad that you do your research before you take care of a pet because there are so many people who, for example just go to the pet store, without any research and listen to the workers that most of the time don’t know so much about the pet👍🏼
I definitely agree so much, Aida! Thank you so much! :)
You need to baptize them with water for the snails to activate
Lol baptize
I love land snails! I currently have 6 milk snails, 2 Cuban brown snails, and 2 flamed disc tiger snails. Milk snails have such beautiful shells!
Where did you get them from? Did you order them?
@@karraholli6014 check eBay! There’s a really nice seller on there that I got mine from SimpleStore99
@@emira9135 thank you!
@@emira9135 yes that’s where I’m ordering mine from! They have an official website now. I wish I could get the white ones but they’re so expensive lol
Are milk snails asexual?
wait is their fully grown size?? and can you share the link to the shop you bought them from ?? this is awesome!
It's hard to say for sure as I cannot find TOO many reputable sources, but from what I'm finding, the average size is 1-1.5 inches!
Also, I intentionally did not include the exact link for various reasons, but I did get them from Ebay, and if you just do a simple search, I'm sure you can find either my seller, or others just as good/better!
Thank you! :D
@@CGpets101 are they asexual?
@@sarabykov snails are hermaphrodites, meaning that they have both male and female reproductive organs. they can also have baby snails by themselves
@@celery8308 not all hermaphrodite snail can reproduce by themselves they still need a partner, snail however can choose whether they wanted to give birth or not and can store sperm from their previous partner and use it whenever they feel like it, snails likes to be male mostly because carrying a babies takes a huge toll on them and is why they developed a method of who will become a female by using a harpoon to shoot potential mate to determine which one will be a female.
@@celery8308 female snail can store sperm for a year.
The snails are so amazing Curtis
Just so you know, don’t use any dechlorinating drops like Repisafe etc. These drops have added electrolytes and they’re not safe for snails
Thank you for sharing! :)
I ordered milk snails from eBay too and im hoping they survive transit. I absolutely love snails.
They are alive this is what they do when they are in a stressing environment they can stay like that up to 6 weeks or something crazy like that
Just subscribed since yesterday I had bought some too and am excited to see your care video!! :)
I'm so happy for you! 🐌
Just an FYI the reason land snails are hard to find in the states is because it’s actually illegal to ship any type of snails over state lines.
Hi. That's actually not correct. USDA APHIS has some guidelines, but Otala lactea are not regulated for interstate travel. Google will tell you that they are though.
@@aaronlincoln4836 all land snails are regulated actually. Each states has their own laws about invasive species though.
Milk snail are specially invasive since they can survive winter and specially summer.
@apdroid geek can you show me a specific example where Otala are prohibited? I've searched hard and haven't found one yet, not even Hawaii.
I love your channel I personally would not order live animals in the mail I guess it just matters on what you are receiving 👍
Will you please make more snail videos? I just got 7 milk snails too. I hear another common name is "unicorn snails". How do you care for yours? Did you ever get them to breed?
Can you do a terrarium tour for the snails I wanna get some and wanna make sure they spot is safe and have what they need
I just got a milk snail about 4 days ago and the first day he was delivered i took the film off and rinsed him under warm water and 8 hours later he woke up and was crawling around the tank. He ended up staying in a single spot for the next 3 days and he is still there now. He has not touched his food or water because it looks the same. I switched food out for fresh carrots now but i hope the snail wakes up again and nothings wrong. Anyone know why he is not moving? it has been 3 days since he moved last.
They are very weird! Sometimes they do not move for weeks, and then decide to wake up and eat, haha. Just make sure they are at least at room temperature, and are humid enough!
Snails are mollusks they came from originally from the ocean, they need their environment to be very humid for them to be active if the environment is not in favor for them they will seal their opening to keep themselves at equilibrium or to keep bodily fluids.
Are they legal in the US?
Can you please let me know which seller you ordered from on ebay? Thank you
I got a Helix Aspersa Muller, from Greece to Massachusetts. I hope they’re not illegal I couldn’t find much information. But I won’t release them, they’ll only be pets so.
As long as you go thru the substrate and freeze any eggs you find and kill em, it should be alright. 👍🏻
The snail was just uncomfortable and felt like the conditions weren’t right
Okay, can someone please tell me EVEYETHING EVER about taking care of snails? I have dome so much research, and I think I know what I'm doing, but I would love to hear things about taking care of them, and things yall didnt expect. I have ordered them and they are on the way! Thank you!
I can’t find milk snails 🐌 for sale 😢
Bro for real you should move your candle. How the underside of that tank and shelf is not burnt is beyond me. Kind of dangerous.
Do milk snails make good pets?. I find them all the time in the wild
They do, they're easy to care for and fun to watch specially when theyre eating, you cant pet them but you can handle them, their feel weird but nice at the same time, wild caught snail most likely carry parasite so you should wash before and after handling them, captive bred not so likely but still wash your hands before and after, note that the chances of getting meningitis is just as much as getting a disease from your dog, just dont eat snail/slug alive.
Hi Curtis! I love your vids! Im just curious.. I ordered a milk snail off ebay, and how often should I clean out its tank fully? Ive read once every month and wipe the grime off every week many times, and then. someone said every week..
Any advice?
I set mine up with a layer of dirt from my yard and a layer of substrate from the pet store. Every 2 weeks or so I scrap the top layer and turn it over. If you add rolly-pollys and earthworms, they help keep it clean. Then I just wipe the sides down and keep a mesh cover on top for good ventilation. I read that snails get used to the substrate and changing it all out at once can shock them. I've never had issues with mold or smell. I also plant catgrass and other small plants and add eggshell and dried leaves to the tank so it's like its own little fertile ecosystem
Dont change it, or atleast leave some dirt, snails like us need good bacteria for digestion, they also need live bacteria to help clean their environment, its like keeping a fish, its the nitrogen cycle.
where can I buy
Hello, may I ask who you got the snails from? I am considering getting a couple of Otala Lactea (milk snails) to raise as pets also. Any information is greatly appreciated, thanks!!!
Yes I’m looking as well !!
They were purchased from Ebay, and I'm not sure the seller is still currently selling!
Where are you ordering from???
Try ebay shit ton on there, people try to sell them for alot but a few days ago I got 5 for 20$ which is a good deal
@@Alleycat041 Hi! I'm sorry to find this comment so late, but could you please let me know what you searched up, and who you got it from?
@@ilovetosucktoes hello! Sadly it seems the listing is gone now
@@Alleycat041 oh, thats a bummer. thank you tho!
@@ilovetosucktoes you're welcome, I hope you can find some!
Nicola Twilley and Cynthia Graber of GASTROPOD on behalf of Rick Brewer (America's 1st and only escargot farmer) has a food based podcast I tune in to that might be worth some information gain for you as a procurer for pets, or even more.
I don’t know much about milk snails but I’m going to order 1 of Amazon is it ok to just have one? I’m scared to have 2 because I don’t wanna have babies!
That is okay!
You can get more than one and clean the enclosure regularly so that when you do it you collect the eggs and freeze them for at least 24 hours.
Snails are hermaphrodites. They can lay eggs without a mate.
@@emira9135 That’s cool I didn’t know that I should do more research on snails.
@@emira9135 correct me if I’m wrong but I read that milks snails actually can’t reproduce asexually
It's illegal to buy/ship land snails across state lines in the United States.
The snails need places to hide and play keeping them in a plane tank is Just not right
He did say that was only temporary since they came early...
@@aaronlincoln4836 well he should be ready with he full tank befor ehe orderd them
Great
I enjoyed this thank you. Just be careful when you ask for smaller snails there is a risk you will get snails that haven’t been culled yet. Especially from eBay you very well might get runts. These are inbred snails which don’t live as long and have more health problems.
Thanks! This is a super helpful tip!
Pay attention all of them were alive
I don't like this dude's face.
Uhhh
Poor dudes just existing lol
That sounds like a you problem
Sounds like you have low self esteem or something fam
that’s pretty rude
