Back when I got my first aquarium a couple years ago, I bought an Apple Snail because, well, I think snails are cool. He lived for a while but ended up dying about 2 years ago (he was old). His name was Salty.

Anyway, Wisconsin outlawed the sale of Apple Snails about 2 years ago because they are invasive. They are still legal to own, but you can't buy them from a pet store.
Does anyone know anybody with Apple Snails they'd be willing to part with? I'd really like to get another one (or two). I currently have some mystery snails but they only get to be about 1" or so diameter, whereas Apple Snails will get to 6" if you feed them right.

This is one of my Mystery snails, Printy, destroying some lettuce.
