Amazing - a wee bit phobic myself but it makes me really happy that others can care for the less usual pet with genuine love and commitment.

Just out of curiosity, how do you discern the gender of a snail?

She is lovely!

Orion is super cute! Your submission made my day!

I would love to see a picture of the two of them all snuggled up together as well!

Snails are way too underrated.

What kind of food does she eat?

Do you know if you can have them in the USA? I want one but idk where to get one/if it’s legal. Also, 10/10. She’s awesoem

She’s so cute I’m glad you have such an amazing darling pet(s)

10/10

I love giant snails so much. They're fantastic. Tell Orion I love her.

She’s so awesome!

I think this is absolutely amazing!!

She is beautiful~ Thank you for sharing the picture

I want one!

As a hermaphrodite they probably just reproduce?

Captive bred snails are much safer to handle than their wild counterparts. Wild snails can carry parasites like lung worm and other types of mite. Whereas captive bred are parasite free and disease free. Its always best to wash your hands after handling any snail, but pet snails won't make you ill. Thank you so much. I will give her a shell pat from you.

Unfortunately it depends on where you live. If your in the USA, unfortunately the breed is banned as they are a highly invasive species. They are often kept as pets in the uk and European countries, as they wouldnt survive in our climate. Making them a legal breed to keep. They can be found in many pet shops. If you do live in a place where they a legal to keep and you do decide to get one as a pet. Please go onto a snail forum to seek advice. As they can be difficult to keep as a pet of you don't know all the information on how to keep one. They are easy once you know how to keep them happy and healthy. I use reddit r/snails but there are many other sites like Facebook that have one too.

Thank you for the recommendation, i will definitely look it up. Its a very interesting title. Thank you again.

Aww your snail sounds awesome. My first snails were tiny too. Then i found some giant African land snails dumped in a woods in the middle of winter. I rescued them as they would have died soon after. Ive been keeping and rescuing snails ever since.
