Thanks. ImI looking for a cleanup crew for a Viv.

Roach Crossing, Captive Isopoda, and isopod.com have cleanup crews, from springtails to isopods to beetles.

Hope this helps,

I would also agree with captive isopoda. I have ordered six species of isopods from them now and every single one arrived alive and healthy.

Thanks for all the websites. I will post a pic of the Viv once it is done. Arthroverts, thanks again.

Without trying to make this sound like vendor feedback, Isopod.com is run by a pretty well known shady individual who is not above smuggling/illegally importing animals into the states. I'd stay away if I were you.

Ok thanks. The whole reason I started this thread was to get opinions and info from a lot of people.

Thanks again,

Does anybody know a good place to get snails/slugs?

 

[Arthroverts]

The above cetcos website is the only place I know that has slugs regularly. @Insectopia was selling some snails, but their in England.
You will probably have to find people who keep the species you are looking for and see if they will sell you some or work out a trade, as terrestrial gastropods are not yet very popular.
Anyway, I have Limax flavus (Blue-Eyed Slugs) if you like. Relatively hardy and easy to breed.

Thanks,

Arthroverts

The Blue Eyed slugs would be perfect. When I start the viv I will buy some.

Thanks,

Is there anybody selling pancake slugs that anybody on here can think of?

Thanks,

[Arthroverts]

@Scythemantis, you kept some pancake slugs, do you know of anyone who is selling some?

Thanks,

Non-Us native land snails are illegal in the US, so your choice of legal snails are limited. I do see non-native species offer occasionally, but buyer beware.

If I can mange to find some (pancake slugs)in Florida next week I’ll bring them back with me to MN and try to breed them and then we’ll see. I’ve seen them in Anguilla so I know what to look for. If they truly are illegal then I won’t go near them.

Non-native land snails ARE illegal - not sure about slugs. If you collect them in Florida it won't matter.

They aren't illegal where I live because they cannot survive here. Giant African Land Snails are definitely illegal in the U.S. because they are considered an invasive species.

Trust me, whether they can survive or not has nothing to due with making them legal/illegal. I wish it did, then I could have Giant African Land Snails and all kinds of tropical beetles here in Ohio.

In that case, I will contact APHIS and ask if they are legal in Oklahoma.
