Being plant enthusiasts most of you would dislike snails and many of you would have lots of them living in your garden. I'm chasing garden snails, any size, any number. If you can help me out it would be much appreciated.

Re: Got a snail problem? I'm after snails
I keep a number of different reptile species, mainly lizards and one species i keep, the pink tongue skink has a distinct preference for snails and often refuses anything else. My numbers are dwindling fast and we dont get a great deal in our garden.

I used to have a Blue tongue lizard, he liked nothing more than to crunch on a big juicy snail.

Snails breed prolifically, check google.
A bucket, the right environment, a few snails and your ready to start a farm. Much easier than trying to acquire them, I'd also be careful as you would know, baited snails can be lethal to lizards.

Re: Got a snail problem? I'm after snails
More than enough snails here, even though I feed any I find to the chooks and turkeys, but its a long way to send them. Maybe you could send the lizards down for a holiday??
