Hello!
New snail owner here, got two young achatinas from local pet store. I guess they havent been treated well or something Would these cracks be healed over time or should I start to think about doing something to them? They are active and eat food and cuttlebone well.
First two pictures are from first snail, and third from the other.
Thank you very much!

Hi there, These look like quite superficial cracks that haven't broken right through the shell, so shouldn't be anything to worry about in terms of their health. The ones on the second snail look a bit worse but seem to have already been successfully patched over from the inside by the snail. They may possibly have "dents" or marks there for the rest of their lives. It looks like they could have been kept in a tank with hard objects like rocks or heavy decorations that they could have fallen onto, or perhaps were transported roughly at one point. Hopefully with some good care and a varied diet they will be ok from now
