Dang, it is already 12:45 and my shipment of snails hasn't arrived yet. What do I do if the shipment arrives right when I have to go to work 3:30 - 8:00? How can I keep them okay while I am at work?:frustrat:

That is not a concern! My concern is how long will they be OK in the package in the house?

They should be okay for the rest of the day.

Yeah, but this is one of my part-time jobs and I don't have the luxury to do that!! Seeing as it is part-time, I will get home about 9:00 tonite and will be able to tend to them, fortunately!!!

I always get priority shipping so that it will arrive before 10:30 am. Otherwise I'm waiting all day and it doesn't show up until 3 or 4 in the afternoon.

Well, all turned out well for my CUC. I "jumped the gun" a little when I didn't see much movement right away and thought that I didn't acclimate them correctly. But, as we all know, snails are slow. After about 2 days they all distributed themselves around the tank. A few are still in the same position I initially put them in. I figure I give them a few more days and if I don't see any movement should I remove them from the tank? If they did not survive will leaving them in the tank affect anything?
Again, thanks for all your responses. This forum is the best!!!

a few dead snails wont hurt, your clean up crew will do there jobs and eat the dead snails and itll be good for your hermits since they will now have bigger shells to move into later on

If their dead,the bristle worms have probably already taken care of them.
