Large native snails can be found in many lakes in the area. Find them on the underside of lily pads. That way you don't have to worry about non-native critters getting loose and becoming invasive in our area. -----Original Message----- From: gsas-member-bounces@thekrib.com [mailto:gsas-member-bounces@thekrib.com] On Behalf Of naturalart@earthlink.net Sent: Monday, May 18, 2009 10:40 PM To: gsas-member@thekrib.com Subject: Re: [GSAS-Member] freshwater snails I've been doing some research on freshwater snails. I looking for a good sized snail for a pond. From what I've been reading "mystery" or "apple" snails won't survive the winters up here. Viviparus malleattus sounds like my best bet. Anyone have any thoughts on this subject or know where I might be able to purchase this animal?
