[Kevin]

Species often/occasionally found on ebay/other places that sell online

Achatina fulica - always has a pointed apex. White, blueish, or grey columella. Body colour and shell pattern/shape are all variable. Sometimes incorrectly spelt/listed as Achatina *F(f)ulica, Achantina fulica, Achatina fulicia.

Achatina fulica hamillei (and Achatina fulica hamillei f. rodatzi) -
Same as above, the hamillei form will appear to be the same as Achatina fulica, but will have come from rodatzi parents, or confirmed hamillei parents (originally from rodatzi.)
The rodatzi form is yellow, and will have very little or no brown streaks and markings. Sometimes incorrectly spelt/listed as Achatina hamillei, Achatina H(h)amillei, Achantina rodatzi, Achatina fulica var. rodatzi.

Archachatina marginata (including variants) - Always has a blunt apex, rough body texture, and a raised "V" on its tail.

Archachatina marginata var. ovum - often has a more rounded shell than suturalis. Columella is apricot orange. Sometimes incorrectly spelt/listed as Archachatina O(o)vum, Archachatina M(m)arginata O(o)vum.

Archachatina marginata var. suturalis - usually more slender than var. ovum, often has a reddish apex. Pink, purple or reddish columella. Sometimes incorrectly spelt/listed as Archachatina S(s)uturalis, Archachatina M(m)arginata S(s)uturalis.

Achatina achatina- Has a pointed apex, very young Snails may have a more blunted apex, but the shell pattern is usually very different to young marginata. If not sure request a picture of the parent Snails if possible. Columella is usually pink, may also be reddish or purple. Sometimes incorrectly spelt/listed as Archachatina A(a)rchatina, Achantina A(a)chantina.

Limicolaria flammea - Has a pointed apex, has a non-truncated columella. Shell colour and pattern is variable, it can be striped or plain. Sometimes incorrectly spelt/listed as Limicolaria flammae.
