In order to have the yellow shelled, white bodied babies the parent "normal" Achatina fulica likely carried both albino genes (one for the shell and one for the body). Hence it is likely that the Normal Achatina fulica was a cross itself, from what's often called the jadatzi line (a line created by crossing and backcrossing albino skinned Achatina fulica (commonly called jades) with yellow shelled Achatina fulica hamelli (commonly called rodatzi) which eventually resulted in various snails of all colour combinations including normal looking snails could be carrying albino genes). It is likely your normal A. fulica is one of these normal looking but carrying albino genes snails from the jadatzi line.
The inheritence seems to be a little more complicated in general than simple dominance recessive in some cases enough studies havent been done but a wildtype normal X albino bodied and shelled individuals should produce all dark normal looking individuals

they will probably have yellow shells. the shade may be darker with the occasional slight stripe but they wont have the normal dark shell
