    You know owning these things is illegal right? Like it’s a federal crime. They are incredibly dangerous to humans and can carry a lot of diseases.

      Judging on her accent she is in the UK. They aren't illegal there. Only releasing them into the wild is illegal. Even in the US people in the pet trade keep them but you will get in trouble releasing them or selling them Edit: A lot of people also catch their Giant African landsnails outside in areas where they are invasive and keep them. Id argue they are doing the environment a favor by catching them and keeping them indoors

    Do they make alot of slime? My daughters tried keeping 2 snails that they found outside and within 2 weeks the container was so filled with slime it was disgusting. We released them where we found them.

    Hi, loved this really informative video. I help keep my 6yr old Daughter's Africans and garden snails. Is there any more knowledge you can share regarding snails? I get very flustered when we handle them thinking that they will make us ill if we don't wash our hands really well after handling them which puts a downer on handling time. Can you advise if I can relax more when handling them. Are they as dirty as I think they are. I don't want her getting ill from handling them and touching her face without washing thoroughly afterwards. Please help :)

    Do you know anyone in the U.S. that raises GALS? I've been scammed once already and lost $170.00. I like the Albino achintena (my spelling sux) or as long as they will grow into the really big snails. Please let me know.

    DANGER... I am terrified of how unaware people live. The giant African snail is not only an invasive species that seriously affects farmers and ecosystems around the world, but it is also a vector for the transmission of very dangerous pathogens such as rat lungworm, a nematode that causes eosinophilic meningoencephalitis, I mean, a worm that eats your brain!. Having it as a pet is a great irresponsibility. You have to read the news, at least!. See what the United States government says: www.fdacs.gov/Agriculture-Industry/Pests-and-Diseases/Plant-Pests-and-Diseases/Invasive-Mollusks/Giant-African-Land-Snail
