You are most welcome. :-)

You could just ask them, but live snails, like live crawfish, crabs and
lobsters, are going to be freshest and tastiest. ;-)

If you want dead snails, just buy the canned ones. Ick! <G>

Heliculture is an interest of mine. If/when I can ever set up for it,
I've already contacted the central market buyers but need to do so again
before I start up. I'm betting there would be an excellent local market
for them in the Austin/San Antonio area and there are no current
growers! Startup cost looks like maybe $3,000 to do it right.

Let us know how you do with them?
