Can they be frozen?I am thinking no, since they have such a high juice content they would get freezer burn. I was going to replace the snails with just roaches (which are readily available around here) but I do like offering Skeeter a variety.

Since I only have one of these beauties (BTS), usually after a couple of weeks a can-o-worms start going bad Can they be frozen?

I don't know about frozen, but they can be cared for easily. Depending on the size a 5 or 10 gallon aquarium can be adequate to hold them, and potentially breed.

Re: Can snails be frozen?
You can definitely freeze them. Will they be palatable when thawed? Who knows. Try it and see what the critic thinks.
