Giant African Land Snail (Achatina fulica)

Giant African land snails (Achatina fulica) are a species of large snails native to East Africa. They are known for their impressive size and are among the largest land snails in the world.

Giant African land snails are herbivores and feed on a wide range of plant material. Adult giant African land snails can reach lengths of up to 7-8 inches (18-20 centimeters) and have a shell diameter of about 3-4 inches (8-10 centimeters).

These snails have a relatively long lifespan compared to other snail species, with an average life expectancy of 5-7 years. However, under optimal conditions, they can live up to 10 years or even longer.
