Achatina iredalei are very easy to keep. :) I keep my A. iredalei in room temperature (22-25°C), on coir as substrate. Different kinds of vegetables and fruit as food, and so on. Give them protein now and then too, like gammarus and such. They also seem to love spirulina.
My experience is that they need very high air humidity to thrive, but I've read that some A. iredalei don't, so keep an eye on their behaviour to see what they like the most. :)
Also, remember that they will give birth to live babies, and that they can start to reproduce as soon as about 9 months of age.
They are very beautiful snails, and almost always visible. :)

Thanks so much! Couldn't find info on them anywhere and was worried they'd be difficult to keep! Hope I can get hold of a couple now hehe!!  |
