The Giant African Snail is the largest land snail in the world. All land snails are hermaphrodites, producing both spermatozoa and ova. The egg develops and is expelled through a reproductive opening just behind the right side of the snail’s head. Fortunately these impressive animals are very easy to keep if you take into account just a few basic points. Giant African land snails feed on virtually any form of fruit and vegetables and a wide selection is recommended to ensure they receive a balanced and nutritionally sound diet. Once should try to ensure that food is changed daily if not consumed, and that the snails always have food present.
