Giant African Land Snails are very interesting to watch their movements especially when they are eating. I started with 5 but now I have as much as I can not count for my self I believe some body will like to take a look at them or get some for their kids as pets too. Some of my snail especially Achatina Maginata they are upto 71cm now and still growing. After all snails are some creatures hard to understand in all aspects and can survive some had conditions for leaving.- Read dayangreens's review (108 words)

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- Read Guest's review (39 words)

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?- Read Guest's review (141 words and 1 comment)

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!- Read qwertyuiopqwertyuiop's review (72 words)

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?- Read Guest's review (84 words)

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 ...- Read Helen of Troy's review (492 words and 20 comments)
