Snail question

[alter40]

I have no idea how long the hatching takes but I do know I have quite a few very small ones in my tank so I want to get rid of as many as I can.

I guess mine didn't get shipped out yet because I didn't get any email. If I don't get one tomorrow I will email him and see whats going on.

Well I'm hoping that they come here on Thursday because I will be able to be home to get them but if it ends up being on Wednesday I have to be at school for an exam.

yea same boat im in, we are on a stict deadline at work..but i only live 15 mins from where i work so i think i can get away every so often if th wife doesnt let the daughter skip out

Well it looks like the blanched potato helped, I was able to catch 2 decent sized pond snails over night and when I went to pull the trap out even my MTS was sucking on the lid but luckily the holes were too small for him to fit. I put the trap back in my tank to see if I catch something during the day while I'm at school.

Well I didn't catch any snails during the day today in the trap but I did pull one out by hand. I will blanch another small piece of potato tonight and throw the trap back in the tank again tonight and see how it goes again.
