I'm not too bright and couldn't find a way to delete this post, so I will edit it. Thank you to Lagoon Island Pearls for setting me straight! I hope there are no hard feelings.
Hello! Thank you so much for reading my post, I'm so sorry, it runs long!
Last year I lost my heart cat and it left me devasted with an empty hole in my chest but without the ability to love another furbaby as my own. I recently came across the notion of home gardening pearls and fell in love with the idea.
This isn't something I am going to rush into, but am currently in the rigorous research phase and was hoping to see if this has a chance to be achievable. Mainly, can I even get the spat for pearl oysters or mussels? I hope to save some adults from those live pearl party places, but would really love to raise some up from babies, so anyone knows where I can purchase some or if anyone has any experience with pearl farming, I'd really love the help!
A quick fire to answer any questions:
I will be keeping these animals mainly as pets and only examine for/extract pearls years down their lives, as gently as possible or if they pass.
I have been a foster for kittens since then and will continue to do so throughout. I won't get another pet yet, my heart is not in it. (Yes, I am in therapy.)
Reasons I believe I have a chance to be successful:
○ I suffer from chronic illnesses that keep me homebound, along with insomnia so time and effort is not an issue for me.
○ I love to make things happy and taking care of small creatures.
○ My husband and I own our own home in the Gulf of Mexico and will be moving to Galveston in the foreseeable future, with the possibility of owning our own dock; making for warm climate and plenty of access to living sand.
Thank you so much for your time!!! I know I'm really long-winded. All help is appreciated! Have a wonderful week!
TL;DR: If any one knows where I can purchase pearl oyster or mussle spat around the Gulf, please let me know, as I'm researching the possibility of oyster/mussle gardening. Thank you for your time!
