Hey, on this site u can "adopt" a snail. my snails on ,my hand are Achatina fulica .. the most comonly kept land snail in the uk! This site is run by a lady who takes in unwanted A. fulica and rehomes the little guys.(How cute!) Really the size is up to you! you can request a larger snail if u want! I like to grow mine from babies, but I also have snails I have taken as sub adults. Here is the link: thesnailshelter.bravehost.com/Adopt%20a%20GALS.htmlthere is also lots of good imformation on them here! U will also see these snails on ebay, here is another good link : www.exoticpetscumbria.co.uk/hope its useful! ;D |

hm well.. their is world record sizes.. about 20cm for fulica and 25cm for A. achatina.. then there is average size.. about 12-15c for fulica, 18cm for A. achatina.. but that is still 4-7 inches of shell so impressive enough! hehe  |
