Having a slow day? Need a pet that can keep up? Why not give Sneeps a try? These cuddly snails come in a variety of colors and patterns and are easy to care for. They live in a very easy to maintain bottle, so easy- they practically take care of themselves! Their humble abodes are outfitted with lush vegetation; to serve as food, and as a comfortable substrate to live on. All you have to do with these little guys, is sit back, relax, and enjoy their company! And make sure to keep salt out!

Sneeps come in 8 different colors in nature. Just what do these basic shells look like, you ask? Well, I'll show you.

</center>
There they are, beautiful, aren't they?

Only 8 different colors though? That could get boring! Luckily, the Sneeps can be affected by eating certain exotic mushrooms. These mushrooms will result in different patterns, only 3 patterns, and their corresponding mushrooms, have been found so far. I just happen to have a few examples of these rare effects for your very eyes!

</center>

Here we have the polka-dotted shells. Only two shells have been found so far, maybe once more mushrooms are found, we'll be able to have more examples of their stunning shells.<center>

</center>

Next are the swirly shells. They're equally as rare as the polka-dotted ones.

And last, but certainly not least, the jungly shells! These were found deep in a tropical jungle. The shells seem to mimic the markings of a snake native to the area.
<center>

</center>
Sneeps also have very different, distinguishable faces that reflect their personality. When raising the young Sneeps, how you raise them will often determine their disposition.<center>

Sneeps make themselves home in quaint, little bottles. They're a solitary species, except for in breeding season, so there is a one per bottle limit. Our researchers (and by researches, I mean me xd ) have developed 3 different homes to suit their needs. You can view the different bottles in the "Ordering" section. That's it for the basic info, now, on to the breeding!

So, you like the idea of having your own baby Sneeps to look after? Maybe the exotic shell patterns enticed you, and you've decided to try to breed your Sneep? Well here's the place to learn all about the breeding habits of Sneeps.
<center>

</center>
The breeding process is actually very easy. All the owners have to do, is drop off their Sneeps at the breeding facility (this thread) and we'll take care of the rest. The female and male are placed into a breeding bottle together. Once the female meep lays her eggs, and the male fertilizes them, the eggs are removed from the bottle and placed into their own tiny bottle. Each mating will yield anywhere from 2 to 5 eggs. These are then given back to the owners, who will raise them untill they hatch. Which takes about 2-4 days. Unfortunately, they can't stay in their tiny bottles for long. About a week or two after they are hatched, they are big enough, and old enough to move into their own bottle. A tough decision awaits the owners. They can choose to keep the offspring, and purchase bottles for all of the babies. Or they can simply give them back to the facility, for re-distribution to hopeful meep owners. The latter is recommended, to spread new shell patterns and colorations. You don't have to give all of the offspring to the facility, you will probably want to keep one of your own little Sneeps! How the eggs are divided between the owners of the parent snails is entirely up to them, I just need to see agreement from both parties posted in this thread.
<center>

</center>
On the Info page, you learned about the different types of mushrooms, and their effects on the shells of the Sneeps. However, I did not go into much detail about what colors they will be, I will do that here.
<center>

</center>
The color of the offspring depend on the colors of the parents, obviously. If you mate a red Sneep, with a purple Sneep, without either parent having a patterned shell, the babies will have a 50/50 chance of being either color. It's completely random, and you could end up with all reds, or all purple. Luckily, explorers have been searching in different forests in hopes of finding a mushroom that will force certain colors on all of the offspring.
<center>

</center>
When mating Sneeps who have patterned shells, the effects are a bit different. Say the mother has a red and purple swirly shell, and the father has a green and blue polka dotted shell. The offspring have a chance of picking up either trait, swirly or polka dot, and any of the 4 colors. It's all completely random, so I'm sure the combinations will be a nice suprise!
<center>

</center>
The eggs are small, spherical, and the color of their future shell. Should you ever be exploring the woods, and come across a mushroom, use this picture as a reference!
<center>
User Image

</center>
Number 1 is the polka dot mushroom, number two is the swirly mushroom, and number 3 is the jungly mushroom. The eggs preceding the mushrooms are just your basic colored eggs.
<center>

Breeding Prices!
</center>Breeding will cost a flat-out 1,000g. This figure includes the price of the tiny bottles the offspring are housed in, and only those! Not the larger ones!

Only 3 pairs of meeps will be allowed to breed at one time. So once your meep is of age, make sure to hurry up and get a spot!

Mushrooms will be auctioned off once every other day, make sure to keep an eye out for them!

Breeding Pairs

1.
2.
3.

UPDATE!!

Breeding is now open once again, but with one catch. Your sneeps must be courting eachother in the thread. Many of you are already doing it, you know who you are! You can ask me about breeding and I will give the approval or not.

Old Update

Update on sneep breeding
Like before, breeding will cost 1,000g and will yield 2-5 eggs. I flatsale eggs for 600g (excluding bottles, etc.) so the 1,000 covers the image changing and the actual eggs. If the owners decide to keep all the eggs for themselves, they will be required to pay the additional fee for the bottles. It may seem pricey, but I hate setting up the bottles, so basically you're paying for my time ^_^;; If the owners of the babies would like them to be sold, auctioned, or flatsold, they can talk to me about pricing. They, of course, will get a split of the profit since they paid for the breeding. Each cut on profit will depend on how much the sneep is sold for, how much money they put into it, etc. It's all a "we'll see" kind of deal. I hope this clear some stuff up for you all!

Should you purchase Sneeps from a flat sale, or breed them yourselves. I will need to know certain things about how your want your meep and it's home to look. You can choose from 3 different bottles, any straw color, and a variety of foliage and rocks.
<center>

</center>

Bottle 1

This pop bottle, bottle 1, is the most expensive, costing 600g, it is the most luxurious, and it is sure to please your Sneep! You can choose any straw color you wish, the color change is included in the 600g fee. Please specify when ordering!

Bottle 2

The next step down from the above bottle, is bottle 2, the Jar! This one is an affordable 450g. The lid of this jar is also customizable, you may pick any color you desire, the cost is included in the 450g fee! Please specify when ordering!

Bottle 3

Don't have that much money to spend, or want your snail to have a nice, simple home? Then this aquarium-like bottle, bottle 3, is the right one for you, costing only 300g, it won't put a dent in your pocket. The lid of this tank is also customizable, you may pick any color you desire, the cost is included in the 300g fee! Please specify when ordering!

After you choose what bottle you want, you need to decide what decorations you would like to fill your bottle with! Here's an image, with a key, to help you decide.<center> User Image

</center>

Quote:

1. Flowering ground cover, can be recolored to any color of your choice! 3 max per bottle. Cost: 15g
2. Large Bean sprout. 2 max per bottle.Cost: 75g
3. Large Rock. 1 max per bottle. Cost: 25g
4. Grass Cluster 1. 2 max per bottle. Cost: 30g
5. Grass Cluster 2. 2 max per bottle. Cost: 30g
6. Small Rock. 3 max per bottle. Cost: 5g
7. Large Flower, can be recolored to any color of your choice. 2 max per bottle. Cost: 100g

You will need to specify which plants, and in what quanitity you want to order when giving specifications for your purchased flat sale, or when purchasing a bottle for your offspring.
<center>

</center>
You will also need to let me know a few more things. First off, and it's very important, you will need to let me know what face number (refer to the above image, on the info page) you wish your meep to have. Secondly, you must name your meep! Tags are provided free of charge, and you can have it recolored to any shade you want, just make sure to be specific! Your Sneep's name, gender, date of birth, owner, and mate will appear on it's tag. The gender is choosen by me, and it's date of birth is the day it hatches out of it's egg. Just be sure to let me know once your meep finds a mate!
<center>

</center>
Use this format when ordering, or die!

Quote:

1. Your name:
2. Your meep's name:
3. Desired shell number: [1-8]
4. Desired bottle number: [1-3]
5. Desired decorations: list all types and quantities, and total it, please!
6. Desired facial expression: [1-9]
7. Desired colors: Be sure to specify what color you want, should you want your tag, flowers, etc recolored!

Here is an example of a proper order!

Quote:

1. Your name: Bob
2. Your meep's name: Wiggly-poo
3. Desired shell number: 3
4. Desired bottle number: 1
5. Desired decorations:
Large Flower - 1 : 100g
Small Rock - 2 : 10g
Flowring Ground Cover - 3 : 45g
Total: 155g
6. Desired facial expression: 2
7. Desired colors: light purple tag, light purple straw

Please, please, please use this format! Thanks! This about wraps up how to order! xd <center>

</center>
Important Note: Even though when you receive your snail egg, it comes in a small bottle, you must specify which larger bottle you want to order for when it matures. You wouldn't want him cramped in there because I don't know what bottle to give him!

Another note: Please, please, please send the trade over as soon as you post your order and it is confirmed. Make sure to tally up the cost of the bottle, accessories, etc! Thanks!

One more note: You must buy the snail and bottle seperately! A snail egg sells for 600g. And a bottle costs between 300-600g. So you're looking at about a 1k figure. Sorry for the confusion in the thread earlier, I will try to correct my error here! xd

Like everyone else nowadays, I am on a quest. I would really love to have a pair of nightmare minis. I made this shop to make money to aid me on my quest whee . Donations are greatly appreciated, but not expected! If you do donate to me, I've come up with a bit of a reward system, to show my gratitude. It's like the real Gaia donation system, if you donate 500g, or upwards, I will send you a donation letter. What's sort of things are in the letters? Well, so far I have a bunch of headgears for the snails made, and scarves. I won't reveal which letter holds which item, it will be a suprise ^_^! Although, you may want to browse around my threads for hints wink . The letters will be opened at the end of every 2 week period. To start things off....drum roll please!

This is a list of the rules I've decided to lay down, whether you like them or not, you must obey them. They are subject to change, and I'm sure I will come up some new ones. With that said, on with the rules!

1. You may not, under any circumstance, use any of the images that I've created for any purpose, without my permission. You may rotate my image, and combine it in a collage, even shrink it down if you want, which I do not recommend, since it is pixel art, and would cause it to blue and distort. The point? DON'T STEAL MY ART!

2. You may not resell any Sneep, even if it is the result of one of your breedings, all transactions regarding Sneeps must go through me.

3. No form of rude behavior, flaming, or any of that crap will be tolerated.

4. Your adult Sneep must live in a large-sized bottle, you must order this when placing your order from a flat sale or breeding!

5. You may not buy a swirly, polka dot, or jungly egg directly from me (unless you bribe me via PM with a lot of money, Haha, I wish xd )
All special effect eggs must be the result of an owner breeding his or her Meep with another, and then giving any extras back to the breeding program.

6. You may keep your excess offspring, provided you buy them each their own large bottle!

7. If you bought a basic colored meep, and bred it to get a special effect one, you may switch bottles with the original, and return it's ownership to me if you wish to just have the special one. This is frowned upon though, since your poor little Sneep will be missing his Mommy or Daddy. crying

8. I will be hosting the image of your Meep untill it reaches it's adult stage. Once it does, you have to host it on your own server. If you can't find one, let me know and we can work something out.

9. Chatting in the thread is encourage. I want this place to be a nice place for people to visit and make friends. So place, chat as much as you want!

These are all of the rules that I can think of for now, more will be added as they come to me. xd

Can I buy such and such a Sneep right now?
No, you can't, you must wait for a flat sale, sorry.
(You could always bribe me with ridiculous amounts of gold xd )

Can you make me a custom Sneep?
No, sorry! I'm busy enough as it is. I will be releasing rare Sneeps occasionally, keep an eye out for them if you want something different!

Why are they so expensive?
Well, I put alot of time and work into Sneeps, and I would love to see my hardwork bring in some gold for me. I feel the prices are fair, and if they were too high, people wouldn't buy them, right?

Why can't I resell the Sneeps I breed?
I want all Sneeps to go through me to control which ones are being produced, who's owning them, etc. Breeding is not a requirement, if you don't want to breed, you don't have to! It's an expensive process, and you should only consider it if you can fund your baby Sneeps!

Can I just buy the bottle first and then buy the decorations later?
Yes, you may. You can always add decorations later, or upgrade bottles. Just post in the thread with your new request. 3nodding The price of switching is included in the decorations and bottles cost.

Is the Sneep included in the price of the bottle, or vice versa?
Nope, sorry. There was a bit of confusion regarding this one. You must purchase the bottle and Sneep seperately!

What is that smell?
Oh, that's just me, sorry. redface xd
