- We DO NOT ship outside the United States or ACROSS state lines. It is illegal for anyone within the United States to ship CERTAIN* snail and slug species across state lines or outside of the country. The same goes for shipping them INTO the country. We are happy to explain this to you via email, etc, if need be.

ANY runts we DO NOT cull go into our runt program. Where they are kept to live the rest of their lives in peace. NEVER released, bred, etc. In some cases, the runts get adopted, with special care guides. THESE RUNTS WILL BE LABELED AS RUNTS ON THEIR INFO CARD.
