Alec Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I have a small outdoor garden pond. I have some pest snails in there currently, but I wanted to get more. I want them to be able to survive the winter. I was thinking Japanese trap door snails or ramshorn. Opinions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if rams-horn snails will make it. Of course, give it a try! Msybe you could collect some wild snails from a waterway near you?
