Description
African Giant Snail Breeder Snails
The breeder snails have an average weight of between 110 – 120g.

The shells of these snails often grow to a length of 18 centimetres (7.1 in) with a diameter of 9 centimetres (3.5 in).
Certain examples have been surveyed in the wild at 30×15 cm, making them the largest extant land snail species known.
Similar to other giant land snails such as the Achatina fulica, Achatina achatinas are herbivores. Their diets consist of many plants such as nuts, flowers, fruit, stems, and leaves.
Like almost all pulmonate gastropods, these snails are hermaphrodites, having male and female sex organs.
Each snail lays up to 800 or more eggs per year.
Achatina achatina is an important source of animal protein for West African forest-dwelling ethnic groups, and there is potential for commercial farming. This species’ substantial size and potential for rapid population growth makes it a good option for breeding.
