Asolene section

[Stijn]

I've ordered some more Asolene shells. Once I have those, I will add some more on different Asolene species (A. platae etc.).

You order shells? Where do you do that? Do you have any Asolene alive?
What is the rareist snail you've had or that you have now?

Rarest snail?
Hmm... let's thinks.
Maybe my Asolene megastoma snail is quite rare. Or perhaps those unidentified Asolene snails I have here. They are small (1.5 to 2 cm), but are definately asolene apple snails. They could well be a non-described species.

And yes, I do have live Asolene spixi snails. They are really nice and easy snails. I do have many babies at the moment....

But I feel that a question is in the air: How did I get these snails?
Well, once in a while, people send me living snail species. That's the advantage I have at the moment due to the success of this website.

Can one buy these snails?
I corresponding with some people in Uruguay, who breed several unusual species. I think they are planning to sell these. I'll keep you all informed.

Shells?
These are more easily to order on-line. Just check for shell sellers, and look for Ampullariidae shells.

I wish some one around here sold snails...

All I can get are bridgesi(i?) and the rare P. cana....

I would love to have a bunch of different species... I wouldnt want to ship (pay for it either ) snails half way around the world...
