Giant African Land Snail (Juveniles)

Achatina fulica is considered one of the worst snail pests of tropic and subtropic regions. It consumes large volumes of native plants, modifies habitats and out-competes native snails (Moore 2005). While its small size limits the quantity of plant material consumed per animal the aggregated nature of the infestations can lead to severe damage in infested plants (Raut & Barker 2002). - http://www.issg.org/database/species/reference_files/achful/achful_imp…
