SargonR, I think it's definitely an Achatina sp., as you and Tabris Tabarsi have suggested. I think this is either: A. marginata (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Archachatina_marginata_shell.jpg) -or- A. achatina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Achatina_achatina_01.jpg), though. It definitely resembles these more than the light-shelled A. fulica.
