In previous work we showed how to arrange the terrarium. In today's continuation of our series on African snail farming will be discussed, where and what you can get a snail. Species of all sizes and interesting color combinations are many. This episode introduces you to some closer.

Choosing a snail

A snail can take several forms, each has its pros and cons. We start with the first option, buy a snail in pet shops. They are found in almost every city and in addition to known fish and budgies are starting to appear on the shelves of these stores to our great joy and snails. Usually you can buy chicks at our most common species, namely Achatina fulica and Achatina reticulata. Only a small handful of vendors who really love animals, can deal with breeding. Prices of such worms tend to be higher than the breeders. When you are in our town is a teraristicka Marketplace, and we appreciate any way trade in animals is a good choice. If we want to own less widespread snail species,we need to look for another alternative purchase. A good option is to visit a specialized teraristicke Exchange. They are usually held once a month or at some regular intervals. Www.achatinaweb.cz On my site you can find the nearest exchange in your area. It takes place almost every weekend. It's such a small social event to which even a novice will feel very good. Friendly environment and ignition breeders are the reason why so many of us on these exchanges like returns. You can not buy their dream pet, but also small for the needs of their own breed. There are several things that farmers produce more skilled, so here you will discover things that you would seek in vain in the business network. Even so, a magical place such as a stock has a minus.This is a limited duration of the exchanges and do not always exhibit all breeders regularly. Buy from a breeder can be very interesting choice of having a snail. Contact breeder usually found on the Internet or exchange. Such a purchase is almost always in person, mostly at the keeper. As a reward for expended way we will certainly be a personal experience with the breeder's own breeding. We can take you only own a snail, but a lot of interesting advice or recommendations and usually occurs a new friendship. I must not forget the possibility of not very widespread, but still possible. And that is the import of the snail from its homeland. I mention this possibility just as interesting, as it assumes some experience in the field. Not only do we have to find a good importer,but such purchase constitutes a personal collection of snails at the Prague Ruzyne International Airport, through which can be exotic animals from other continents to us imported. Such a purchase is connected with considerable costs. From my own experience I know that such purchases are possible, and importers are often reputable merchants. Such a purchase can proceed normally in a situation where our species is not required in our country for sale. Finally, I would like to point out the various attractive offers for snails, which are almost on the European market do not behave and are therefore in great demand among breeders. Always verify that such a specific kind of behavior and if he can bring some well-known businessman. If you findthat even the best trader is able to ensure the import of a snail without regard to cost, be extremely wary.
