Hi, hey just some info about snails from an agricultural pest control point of view (what i do) snails can and do eat things that kill vertebrates,I have seen snails and slugs eat so much rodenticide that their skin color actually changes and they live just fine, so be sure to flush them by feeding them for some time yourself, also for aquatics the fish tanks/ponds they are in are prone to chemicals Ph up/down etc and they will have that in their systems,also the creeks/drainage areas in the US are prone to spraying by local vector control so again self raising/feeding will be key. snails will usually eat damp dry dog food, what I have been playing with is feeding land snails mazuri crocodilian diet with dark greens for a while before using as food. Also the US snails fail to reach the size of those from other countries, most notably the giant African land snail (Achatina ssp) that can have 10 inche shells. sorry so long
