A few words about me

Yes, that photo in the green t-shirt with the giant snail on my hand, that's really me. And if you look in the Blog section, you'll find evidence - more or less unsuccessful photos from the same shoot.

 

But now to the more important thing - my snails :) My "collection" is not the largest in the world, nor is it the largest in the Czech Republic. However, I try to provide maximum care and attention to every slime creature living with me. I have been keeping and breeding snails for 13 years now, past 6 years pretty much full time, and I figured it was time to move on - to reptiles. Of course, my life will never become 100% snail-free but from now on I plan to focus on just a few favorite species.

 

I am currently building a new breeding facility (bigger, better, nicer, ...) so all my animals get new enclosures (bigger, better, nicer...), snails included. So I am busier than ever. But I will always try to find time to respond if you contact me seeking advice or opinion.

 

I will continue selling offspring. I will continue even shipping them but there is not a minimum order - €100 (both domestic and international customers). Sorry I keep repeating this info throughout the page but often people seem to miss it. I'm not (and never will be). I'm interested in top quality. Breeding is my passion, and I'm happy when my offspring end up in the right hands; the greatest honor is when the recipient opens the package and immediately sends a message like: "They're just amazing, even more beautiful than in the photos you sent," and when they come straight to me for another snailYou can however always come to my home to pick even a single snail up or I can bring your package to Prague fair Ziva Exotika. I keep having tables in Terraristika Hamm in Germany and Verona Reptiles in Italy.

 

Regarding shipping - snails can also be sent relatively safely within the EU, but they must be properly and carefully packaged, and above all, the WEATHER must be suitable, not too hot or too cold (more on this topic also in the Blog section). There is something I like to call "shared loss guarantee". If you follow my instructions (such as pick up the package the first day it is being delivered, not after the weekend for example), I will replace all snails that die during the transport for free. You however have to pay new shipping.

Let's have a chat

Hi and thank you for considering to contact me. Unfortunately I am just unable to keep up with all the available channels so if you want me to respond, please use Whatsapp (my no. 1 choice) or Facebook Messenger (I cannot guarantee that I will find your message though if we have never talked there before. For some reason FB likes to hide them from me sometimes.)
