Clay,

I will bring apple / baseball snails for all.  I have been keeping them in a
large AQ at
room temperature (the heater in the wet-dry sump has been turned off for
months).  I put
1 600 mg Calcium Carbonate tablet / 10 gal water.  They eat lettuce like
there is no
tomorrow and are very active and kind of fun to watch.  There eggs are laid
on the top
of the tank out of water, convient to scrape off for population control.

Could you send directions and an address to your house in Mukleteo??

Joe
