Franklin, one of my two Tiger Snails, arrived in a tupperware box from eBay on the 21st September 2012, and looked like this:  Here is Franklin now:  They grow up so fast!  |

April 2016. Proof positive that a 3 year old Tiger continues to grow. Compare the markings on Franklin's shell now to those in August last year. You can plainly see from the patterning that at least 2" of growth has been added. Of course this doesn't translate to 2" in shell length, but I'm sure a mathematical formula for the Archimedes spiral could be worked out!  |

Is it legal to keep tiger snails in Canada? Nope! Nothing from the Achatinidae family is legal in this country. |

And these snails caused a great invasion in South China Canada is far too cold from them to survive here, but the CFIA is too stupid and paranoid to realize that. Instead of taking the time to look at other cold countries models, they just assume the worse based on what with Floida and Hawaii, which again, is absurd because we're talking apples and oranges with the climate and environmental differences. South China I believe has a sub-tropical climate like Florida, so that would probably explain how achatina fulica managed to invade that zone. |
