Sure, I'll put you both down on my list for 2.
Linda, I'll hold on to some for you, but it'll be a while before they're the size of the ones I gave you. When I got my 1st ever African snails they were 1.5cm and they did fine, even with my complete lack of knowledge. I'm sure you'll be ok with them.
Oh, and I can't see any reason why you can't keep them in the same tank, they don't require any special conditions. But, if you ever planned to breed them you may have to keep them separate. I'm not sure on the situation regarding cross-breeding. I was told Lissachatina and Achatina can't cross-breed but now I'm unsure of how true that is. It is more likely that they won't want or need to cross-breed in the wild rather than they can't.

Emma, if you do go to Brixton, please, please, please look out for Tigers. Apparently they have been sold there on a nearby stall, just not as often. If you find any I'd really appreciate you getting me a couple.
Fredrik told me he has some Achatina smithii babies to sell, so if anyone has been after this fairly unusual type, get in touch with him.
It is so unfair, I want 2 of each species but that isn't possible. So I intend to concentrate on tigers, dimidiata and Archachatina (various). My stuhlmanni, reticulata and panthera are purely for enjoyment, they'll all be in together eventually coz I don't intend to breed them.
Thanks to Birte, I have some Helix pomatia, with a bit of luck they'll eventually breed so if anyone wants any of them, let me know. I don't intend to hatch many unless I know people want them. That will be a good while off yet anyway. They are rare in the UK, where I live they are non-existant.

Hi
paul, I would certainly look out for tigers when i get up to london! fortunately i have some tigers of my own, so i feel confident in picking them out if there was some there.
Linda, ur lucky to have a nail technician for a daughter! I have to pay £30 to get mine done! lol!

Thanks Emma, I figured you'd be able to spot them from having your own. Cute pictures alert!!! They are currently the size of piece of sweetcorn, some slightly bigger. paul

Aren't they just!
I'll feel sad to see them go when they get re-homed but imagine having 80 of them at full size lol.
Maybe if I convert my loft......

80 might be a little excessive! ;D i have to get new tanks soon myself.. my margies are growing up and my young fulicas have grown loads. hehe i have 4 tanks at the moment but not very large cuz when i got them they were youngsters! also i had some accidental babies lol. one of my fulicas laid eggs and i didnt notice cuz im keeping them in vermiculite which is kinda light brown! there is now about 20 baby snails sliming around!
