Maybe you haven't yet jumped the gun. Why don't you try one of those grocery stores that sell the snail shells for making escargot au gratin etc.? They've got lots and lots of snail shells in clear plastic tubular containers. And given they are supposed to be used for preparing meals for human consumption, they are in all likelihood safe. Probably cheaper per shell than any lfs presentation. Gabriella >Jumped the gun.
