Axies and Snails??

Hey, just wondering if a pair of Apple Snails would be any problem for my young Axies?
 
As long as the snails are bigger than the axolotl's head there "should" be no trouble. I currently have 2 apple snails about 1.5 inch wide with 2 adult axies and there is no trouble, I tried with smaller ones and they vanished (in the axie's stomach).
 
I have an adult apple snail in with my adult axolotls, and Cuddles has been just fine

They tend to huff at the snail a bit, but snails quickly get used to this.
Axolotl ARE good at eliminating small snails however, so keep in mind John's comment.
 
no more snails!

hey guys, keeping in mind the above advice...we bought 3 golden snails for the tank yesterday. The smallest one was 2cm across, the largest about 3cm. When we awoke this morning...2 of the 3 had disappeared! :( Our axies aren't very big only about 12 and 15cm long. We are clearly going to have to find some BIG snails to keep the slime down...
