Thanks Sukanya. I agree with both of you. My earlier posting of a similar giant snail of North Bengal is at www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1788526003. I've seen at least four types of snails in Sikkim, including the giant variety. I don't know which varieties are edible! (I've eaten them abroad, but it is no, no here!)

I agree with Agnes...common in India too and a garden pest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achatina_fulica
