where can i get feeder snails?
okay so i went to petsmart today to get more snails for my green spotted puffer and the manager (who i've never gotten them from before) tells me they're not allowed to give them to me because they could mess up my tank and i could sue them. seriously...? i've only been getting them from there for the past 2 MONTHS. so anyway i've checked a ton of other places (petco...lfs...walmart...) and nobody has them! i'm stressing out cause obviously my puffer needs snails to dull down his teeth so do any of you know of any way i could get small feeder snails from an online site or anywhere else? or if anyone here is willing to send me some i'll pay for them. i just really need them, all he has right now are clam shells to bite at but he only chews on them sometimes and it's still probably not enough. pleaseee=/

actually with clams, its not that they bite the shell, its that they scrap there teeth on the shell trying to pull the meat off the shell.
But you can check out aquabid.com for snails

well he does both. he scrapes his teeth on it to get the meat and he actually bites at the edges for whatever reason lol will him scraping the meet off cause his teeth to dull down? (i'm guessing so)
