Gastropods

Gastropods are hard to conserve, thus they are scarcely seen in exhibitions. However they are nearly everywhere in nature to find and are special indicators for certain habitats.
To fill this lack of these incredible species in exhibition and education, we offer a large variety of life-size slug and snail models.

Because all models are individually made, we can color the species in the typical appearance of your region or fix the collected typical shells, which you send us before.

If the model you are looking for doesn't appear on the current list, please get in touch with us. We constantly adding new models.

If you like to find models of our range which live in a special habitat, please use our search above.
