Bizarre African Giant Snails


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.

    Hello! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa?
    My blog covers a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we
    could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested
    feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
    Superb blog by the way!
