Mine (Lignus) are not having the violett shell inside. Or does it get violett when they are dead? Or does it only look in this tiny pic violett inside?
Is it possible that we have 2 different species? My smaller one with the red Tip has a different body colour than the bigger whiter one.

edit: went to modify first post and deleted it The snails listed as Achatina sylvatica on Arno's site members.tripod.com/arnobrosi/gallery.htmlLook a bit like the Lignus intertinctus dont they? especially the one on the bottom right. I think the opening to they're shell is a little bigger than with the lignus though, they're shell is very similar. .... yeh but they have red stripes, a different shaped columella, and less convex whorls. One of mine has red stripes Im not saying they're sylvatica, just that they both look similar (I thought ;D)

It is purple, like the 'A. sylvatica'. (Sorry about the quality, but I couldn't get it balanced to get more light on it. I'll try during daylight to see if I can improve the pic. But you get the idea)
