Any info would be greatly helpful, I know one species or so is prohibited.

I Googled "Colombian trapdoor snails" and came up with nothing. Do you know the Latin name for them?

Thanks!

See the USDA website:

http://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/permits/organism/snails_slugs.shtml

& especially note this section:  "Snails in the genus Achatina (e.g., Achatina fulica, The Giant African Snail), aquatic snails in the family Ampullaridae (e.g., Pomacea canaliculata, channeled apple snail), and Decollate Snails (Rumina decollata) are specifically prohibited for interstate movement or importation into the United States."

This means it is unlikely that a retail operation will want to buy anything but a P. bridgesii (aka "briggs") from you.
