I dont want them to die. Cant wait for them to breed! They are quiet and can't run away! Very interesting to watch, especially when feeding them. The only bad thing is that there is a lot of slime

To Sunshine Livi - if you gently crack the seal and spritz him with lukewarm water he will wake up again. My vet told me they shouldn't hibernate as they are from a tropical climate and so do not experience cold weather. However he said they will seal themselves in if they are too dry. Mine keep on sealing themselves in their shells and they won't eat when I wake them up which I am getting very worried about - any advice?

They are fun to watch and they get up to so much, literally, on the roof! They are very cheap to feed, I find the best way is to grow cabbage in the tank. They will eat it but they will still leave enough for the plant to regrow! I would recommend these as good pets. They are very low in demand, Just some water and a cabbage leaf every day!

I love my giant african snail, i love watching him eat and climb!
i have had my snail, sid for about two years now and i have enjoyed watching him grow from the size of a pea to the size of a large apple! i recommend a giant african snail to anyone who has a small house with not enough space for e.g a dog...
I would love to hear from somebody about my comment because i am getting increasingly worried about my snail!!! thank you to anybody who has replied to my comment!

I love my snails - its amazing how fascinating they are to watch! They also come really cheap, and they don't cost much to look after. The only thing I'm not sure about is the amounts of web pages with info on them...I've just been looking for how to tell how old the snails were, and I cant find the info anywhere! Can anyone help?

Giant African Land Snails are ideal for children to look after, as they are so easy to keep. They are not noisy, do not smell and don't take up a lot of space. They can grow to about 20cm long and 15cm high, so bear that in mind if you buy baby snails!
Snails are Hermaphrodites, they carry both sexes, so they will breed readily. Unless you want hundreds of babies I suggest you remove the eggs and dispose of them before they hatch. They hatch between 14 - 21 days. They burrow under their peat ...
