A feeding question. I have a bunch of snails outside and I would love to see them being used for good reason, how do I "detox" them incase of parasites?

Freeze them,id be more concerned about possable snail bait ingestion,if neighbours use snail bait ect,but only way to possably get rid of parasites is freeze them for a while first,personally i never have bothered ,but only give them the odd snail now,back in the day we used to collect bucket loads and just tip them in,was like throwing a fish n chip into a hoard of hungry sea gulls,lol

So they eat it dead and frozen?

Random question. I'm highly possibly getting my skink from Bill Scwhinn. Is he a good known breeder? Just wanna make sure :doh:

Since I couldn't find any terrarium, I had to use a fish tank. It's 48 x 13. Is it good enough?
