Packed and shipped by our friends at AquaticMotiv (Newark, NJ), separately from our shrimp, with its own tracking. Orders are processed in 1–4 business days. Live snails ship Monday to Wednesday (a Wednesday order after 7 a.m. Eastern ships the next week), never during a holiday week or the week before one, and not below 40°F or above 90°F: held orders ship at the next safe break in the weather. US only.
Live Arrival Guarantee: if a snail arrives damaged, dead or unhealthy, take 2–3 photos in the unopened sealed bag and email support@mossandmolt.com with your order number within 4 hours of delivery (claims close 48 hours after delivery). You get a replacement, or a refund if it is sold out.
Snails often stay tucked in their shells after shipping. Take the photos, add them to your tank and give them a few hours.

The Snail
White giant Hercules snails (Brotia herculea) live up to their name: they can grow over 4 inches. They come from rivers across Thailand and Burma and are very rare in the hobby, a big show snail for the tank. They live up to 4 years. Pick your pack size when you add to cart. Some shells may show small flaws.
Care
Temp: 68–82°F · pH: 6.8–7.8 · GH: 6–8 · KH: 5–20 · Tank: 10 gallons or more
Why Shrimp Keepers Like It
They clean up invertebrate pellets, flake food, dead plant matter, snail tabs and even dead fish. They are safe with any tank mates, shrimp included. They give birth to live, very tiny babies only about 3 times a year, so they won't overrun a tank. Never use copper.
Tank Mates
Good with: shrimp, other snails and peaceful fish. Avoid: assassin snails, which hunt other snails, and fish big enough to eat them.
