Hi,I was wondering, Is it ok to feed snails collected from rock pools to skinks? If so how long should they be frozen?

Erm I was actually looking for an answer myself lol, but i think it's best to freeze them rather than boil. I usually use garden snails (as long as their is no pesticides like pellets in the garden/area) they're good to feed great fun for skinks Very Happy
