I may be able to get a deal on some blue leg hermits and cerith snails. Anyone interested for $1 each?

Anyone ordering 50 or more total will get an extra 5 free!

I will be ordering 500 blue legs, but can only spring for 300 (200 of which I will eventually need to sell too). So need to get at least 200 spoken for to make the order.

If you think you will want some a little further down the road (a couple of weeks or so), go ahead and indicate that. For anyone doing this, if you pay early I will throw in 5 extra for every 50 ordered (in addition to the 5 free ones mentioned above--10 total) and 5 extra (total) for every 25 ordered. You are more than welcome to come see the little boogers before paying.

I am hoping to order on Thursday in order to bring them to the meeting. So, please let me know quick!

Hi,

If these are good sized hermits, I would like 50 but I live in SA. How about I pay early and instead of taking the 10 free, I meet you in New Braunfels. I can pick up for anyone else in SA.

I have been told that the hermits are 1" +/-.

You don't have to meet me in New Braunfels, I will be at the meeting on Sunday. If you won't be at the meeting, perhaps someone would be willing to hold onto them for you until you can pick them up.

For anyone in SA that won't be at the meeting (and won't be collecting them for a while), I can meet you in Blanco.

Hold on, I didn't catch the meeting part before. I can pick up Friday or Saturday. Sunday isn't going to work for me. I'm flying out for a vacation Monday AM for a week. What day do you expect to receive them?

Gary brought it to my attention that Reeftopia offers a better deal on blue legs. (medium sized: 12 for $10 or .83 each) I talked to my guy, and he agreed to lower the price by 1/2!! So, now they are .50 each!!

I plan to order tomorrow and receive on Friday. I'm sure we can work a pick up time out. pm me.

Definitely not too late to order, Robert.

There is a minor glitch....

Apparently, when I paid for them via paypal yesterday, paypal automatically sent a CHECK as opposed to using my credit card! Not sure how this got changed. I called paypal to cancel the check and resend the payment through credit card, but it appears to be impossible.

So basically, I will most likely not have the crabs at the meeting. :angry grrrr. However, when I get them, I will deliver them to the San Antonio area myself.

I say MOST LIKELY because I emailed the guy and asked if I gave him some extra $$ would he go ahead and send it before check cashed so it could arrive here Saturday. I haven't heard from him yet, so I doubt this will happen. I figured it was worth a shot.

SOOOO Sorry for the delay!! I will get things fixed as soon as possible.

Just heard back. They should be shipped today or tomorrow...overnight shipping.

Are you guys from San Antonio able to meet somewhere (like CB pets or something) on Saturday to pick up your hermits? Does anyone have a little extra space in your tank for anyone that can't make it so I don't have to make a second trip?

People from Austin just pm me after I get the hermits in to set up a pick up time. I'm in SW Austin/Oak Hill.

It's not too late to "order" your hermits. I will have plenty left.

angela, i have the prop tank that we can put them in at my house (the extras) until people come by. i am pretty much on your way into san antone, near fin addict. if you want to come to my house, then everyone could come by and pick theirs up. if that doesnt work, just let me know where you want to meet.

Well, I just got a message that the hermits and snails are enroute. I am not sure what time they will arrive tomorrow, but I will let you know. If I get them early enough, I will meet everyone at Fin Addict. I've never been there before. Is it easy enough coming 281? Since I live in SW Austin, that is quicker than 35. Directions, anyone?

Sorry for everything being last minute!

when you get to 1604, head toward I35. exit O'connor Rd and take a right. at the four way stop sign next to Madison HS, take a right on Stahl Rd. At the next stopsign (T intersection), take a right and you are now on Higgins. fin addict is on the right befor Nacogdoches, just after the big wharehouse looking building. please let us know what time, and the offer still stands to put those that can't be picked up tomorrow in my prop tank and everyone can pick em up at my house this week.

They just arrived and I am going to SA soon (if anyone can meet me there). Can we meet at Fin Addict at 4:30? Cash is fine. Unfortunately, paypal takes quite a bite out of the payment. I will take paypal if I can't meet you today. Ace (hobogato) said I could leave some at his house for pick up.

Those of you in SA: I dropped off your hermits with Ace (hobogato). Please pm him for more information.

If you haven't paid yet (in SA), please paypal me your payment before you pick up from Ace.

Ace, thanks sooo much for holding on to these guys! Tell your son and wife hello for me. I really enjoyed meeting all of you!
