I had given up a month ago on the eight Helix Aspera snails I ordered from Greece but after 2 1/2 months of ordering they arrived, Yay. To my surprise all 11 they had shipped me to account for attrition have survived.
I received four little plastic containers sealed with dormant snails and leaves inside.
After putting them in water for an hour they started waking up. Considering how long they had been in those sealed cups I was blown away they had survived.
Unprepared for their arrival I made due with the best temporary container available at the moment, an empty barbeque BBQ pork rind container.

My inspiration for this little project is that I love escargot and have always wanted to raise my own for eating.
If you would like me to do updates on my snail farm an upvote would be greatly appreciated.
