Yes I'm really from the US. - colorado to be exact. European NCs are being sold in the us. Here is a google search:
"european nightcrawlers" - Google Search
For example these people:
European Nightcrawlers & Redworms, Vermiculture Composting, Worm Farming Supplies are in florida.
Of course not all of the compaines on the list are in the US.
Here is a quote from a site about them: "European Nightcrawlers (Eisenia hortensis) are also known as the Belgian Worm, Super Red, Carolina Crawlers and Blue Worms. The most fitting name is
"Giant Redworm".
European Nightcrawlers grow to be 3-8 inches long, and are 2 or 3 times bigger than their smaller cousins, the red wigglers. When they are not stretched out, they are as thick as a pencil"
site:
Raising European Nightcrawlers
I also now see a link at the bottom compairing europeans with canadians... I havn't seen that before (google puts up slightly different sites when I search) so I'll check that out.
My big fear is that these "european nightcrawlers" are really giant red worms and have the same problem as red wigglers - if so then I shouldn't be feeding them to my snakes.
