When You Are Allergic To Cats

in #animals8 years ago (edited)


This is an African giant snail (Achatina achatina) also known as the giant tiger land snail. These guys are huge! The shells often grow to a length of 18 cm (7.1 in) with a diameter of 9 cm (3.5 in). Certain examples have been surveyed in the wild at 30×15 cm, making them the largest extant land snail species known. If you are allergic to cats than maybe this little fellow can be the perfect alternative. And he doesn't leave hair everywhere.

Looks a little like a rabbit with a shell. Keep it away from salt or beer!

Oh! It is ... BIG snail!) Follow you and wait more stories about it)

I know exactly how to murder that one..they're called pests where i come from ;)

Wow... it actually looks kinda cute... in a disturbing way...

WOW.. Didn't know that they could be so large

Are you using a perspective trick to make it look larger?

No it really is a huge snail

WHAT!?!? I thought that was just some joke they made to add an extra character on spongebob squarepants, I didn't know people actually had snails as pets.

This gives me goosebumps looking at a snail that big... how do you even take care of a snail? 🐌 😱

Well the title is a joke, everything else is true.
BTW my first pet as a child was a small snail from the garden. Too bad he ran away.

So amazing how much would one typically weigh?

Those things are illegal down here in Australia...
