Is there a list of which snails are legal to ship across state lines and which aren't, and which require permits and such? I'm sure I'm not the only one that wants to know.

Edit: yay for un-editable subject line typos!

With all the commonly traded snails, all Apple Snails are illegal to transport across state lines, with the exception of Pomacea bridgesii, which requires a permit.

Check the classifieds stickies. Actually, you can change thet title line of a thread you made. Within 30 minutes, go to the sub forums where you will see your new thread, double click on the title and you will be able to edit the title of your thread. After 30 minutes, ask a mod. ;)

Huh, wish I'd known that 10 minutes ago. lol

I checked the classifieds sticky, not much info on NC there, that was the main reason I was asking.

As far as I can tell looking at this page, NC doesn't care nearly as much about aquatic species as I would have expected given the climate here.

Ok, thanks. I'm guessing the nerites are probably in the no restrictions group too, right?
I've been seeing a lot of snails listed on aquabid that I thought were not legal to ship, but wasn't sure. Like the spixis, there's a couple people selling them in the US. I'd love to get a few more, but I'm not one to support the bending/breaking of laws to get them.
