I went back to earl may on my way home from having my baby's surgery done, and was happy to see that the tanks had fresh lettuce, algae wafers and bits of zuchini for their snails. They had some new snails, but the ones with holes(the originals) were marked "not for sale" and in a different tank than the new ones.
I was also shocked that a pet store in Omaha NE knew you need to feed snails! I went to petco there and asked them about THEIR snails.I was looking at them and since they were only asking $2 for most of their snails I bought a gold one and another light striped purple(The lady asked me if I fed my snails. Of course I said yes) they look healthy and eat just as well as the ones I got from snoopy. But the shopworker said there's so such thing as a purple or magenta or any of those colors. She calls the light stripe purple, ALBINO because of their foot color. Sorry, but I don't really think I will go by what a store person says. People here tend to know more.
