I am fairly certain that I have Jap. Trap door snails as that is what comes in the package. Just to be clear to everyone here - I am not blaming Zett's in any way for my situation. They advertised them as part of the package which I picked out and paid for it knowing I was getting them.

I understand based on input here that snails are vectors of parasites but they also should provide other functions and at least food to my RES. Maybe I can find a good recipe as well as I am not above trying to cook them. It is my understanding that the Jap Trap Door will not reproduce as fast as other snails and that they give birth to live young. Maybe the experts can chime in and tell me where I am wrong.

Bon appetit.
