Hi, looking at the shell I can almost be certain its a Tiger but if you could get a photo of the snail itself when it emerges it will be much easier to identify it.
Regards

Its not mine the person that has it could'nt get any body pics but by the description the body its the same as my tigers what thrown me was the shell colour heres a pic of mine look totally different shell pattern. But that could just be down to the camera  |

The key to IDing tiger snails is... They have a pointed apex unlike Archachatina but they have the raised V on the tail like Archachatina.  I think they are the only Achatina who share that characteristic. |
