Behold the largest snail you’ll ever see

Posted by / September 29, 2017

Looking for a pet that can’t outrun you and lives up to ten years? Perhaps the only thing your home is missing is an Archachatina marginata, also known as a giant West African snail (or dinner for five in France…sorry, couldn’t resist the escargot joke).

Actually, this snail is an extremely invasive species that carries a parasite known as rat lungworm, which we’re not even going to look further into for fear of never being able to sleep again.

Still, German insect breeder Adrian Kozakiewicz looks pretty happy with his big, slimy friend.
