Giant African Land Snail
Actual Size: 3-5cm
Achatina fulica
Giant African Land Snails are a fantastic started pet for children. They are relatively low maintenance and grow up to 12" in length.
Inhabiting sub-tropical Africa, the Giant African Land Snail enjoys moderate temperatures and high humidity. Faunariums are the most popular type of enclosure for these snails and need to be a minimum of 12 x 8 x 6 inches for a single specimen. A good quality water retaining substrate like Earthmix, Crestie Life and Forest Floor will need to be about 2" deep to allow natural burrowing behaviour. Temperatures ought to be 20-26°C during the day and 18-22°C at night. Food can be offered in the form of salads and fruits. Calcium in the form of cuttlefish bone should be available at all times and dead tree branches should also be available for the snail to chew on.
GALS are hermaphrodites, possessing both male and female reproductive organs, so keeping more than one snail can result in them producing hundreds of eggs very quickly.
