Imagine this thing sitting on your shoulder as you go out to pick up some chicks on the streets!

Also, their shell color will change depending on what you feed them. I'm pretty sure it's possible to create something like picrelated if you add some special ingredients to their food.

Guess it's time to let it die.

Suddenly Europeans who eat snails make perfect sense.

These two alone must have a shit ton of meat on them.

I have a single mystery snail remaining in my aquarium. He isn't huge, probably not even a 'large' size, but he's fucking terrifying and I love him.

First he ate the other mystery snail.
Then he ate the betta.
Next he'll eat me.

NGL I've since restocked the tank but if everything else died and only he remained, I'd be happy. He's a cool little dude and will chill out on my finger.

Nononono. Usually the snails you eat are somewhere around the size of a walnut. If you want to eat something - eat this. It's a geoduck and it has a real amount of meat inside.

This is a giant african land snail right? They are banned in the US because they are a destructive disease carrying invasive released by a cult from Florida multiple times so they could use them to get high.

Pic related is another invasive snail. An immigrant from Britain living in New England missed these garden pests so he ordered a box of them from Britain. Damn victorians.

Don't lie to me anon, that is clearly an uncircumcised penis!

Can't you see its shell, body and mouth? It's a geoduck, they are delicious.

Yesh.

>They are banned in the US
Aww.

Are snails the ultimate pet for lazy pet owners?

That's right. It's like a plant, but it's moving.

Where did you get them and how do I get one into south america?

snails4you sells them and I've heard good things about them.

I want a big snail but they're illegal here in the us ;_; I don't know how to acquire one

I think the biggest kind you can actually get is going to be an apple snail in the genus Pomacea.

The version I heard is that it was a Frenchman who brought them over to try and sell escargot to Americans, then dumped them off somewhere when he couldn't keep any business.

The one in my pictures are Capaea nemoralis.

I looked it up just to be sure. I got a detail wrong, the guy Dr. William G. Binney was born in the US and I guess an anglophile who brought Capaea nemoralis to New England because he liked the variety of shell colors they had in Sheffield England. He failed in one respect because most of the US line have the same exact pattern.

The escargot introduction was a of a different species in the genus Helix. Apparently both stories are true.

My wife is originally from a country in West Africa and she would describe snails there growing to be massive. She was probably describing a Achatina achatina. I believe they are the largest land snails. She said they taste good

Pic related is like the size of a small turtle. Truly amazing.

Good stuff. Shame the anglophile couldn't stick us with any of the pretty varieties.

No, the ultimate pet for lazy owners are chiapets.

Snails actually require a lot of work, they need the proper food catered to their specific dietary needs, the right amount of clean water, the right temperature, the right humidity, the right lighting, etc. etc. etc.

Im russian and u can get one here for like 3$. They're so cheap because they can reproduce very fast.


>>2298374
You won't be able to fuck your chiapet. And no, they don't need shit, snails are omnivous, altho it's possible to create a gourmet snail if you pamper it too much. Usual ~20 °C works fine. Humidity? Dump the bitch into the water bowl and that will suffice. Just don't let ur snail eat food with parasites in it.

>snails are omnivorous
Fix.

I mean really, it can eat even soil.

That's the company your fishes need in your aquarium!
