I have been purchasing invertebrates from Elite Invertebrates for several years now. I love this on-line store. Very informative and the quality of their snails are amazing!!! The neuritis and rabbit snails are my favorite. If you have not had neuritis getting this assorted pack is a good intro. If put in the right environment they can live a long time - some omg guys have gone 2 years!!

The snails arrived alive (I used the two day shipping) and after a few weeks all are still doing well. One of them was fairly large and three were much smaller. The description does specify that they are "sub adult" size so I was happy they included a larger one in the mix.
There were no instructions in the package for acclimating the snails to a new tank, so I followed the same general guidelines use for fish and they all did fine.
