Great service, Awesome Snails

I ordered these lovely snails and rushed to pick them up at their location (I live in a drivable distance) and was pleasantly surprised by healthy active little horn guys. They were small, but are growing steadily while chowing down on my algae and fallen plants. I love them so much.
