Which species can hybridize with each other and how to know which can? E.g. can Achatina achatina and Archachatina marginata get babies? I ask because I want to know what species I can keep together (I don't want hybrid-babies).
Thanks for help!

I think you are safe with most combinations, Achatina and Archachatina definitely cannot breed, and I've never seen any crossbred species except for Achatina albopicta x fulica, so it may be possible that those in the same subfamily, in this case lissachatina, can on rare occasions breed. It's possible that any combination may try and mate, however fertile eggs would probably be rare. I'd be interested to hear about any other crossbred species.

Basically, whatever you can get to breed together (without a GM lab; that's a bit more advanced breeding!). Hybrids will come if they're viable. Of course, to be considered fully viable the hybrids also need to be able to lay viable eggs.
