It's hard to say at the moment. Please could you take photos of the shell length-ways, let us know how big the snails are (shell length) and if there are any distinct colours underneath the shell (where the shell openeing is).
Right now I'm guessing at Achatina fulica, as their shells can be vaery variable when they are young, sometimes with patterns like yours.

Is there a distinct color around the opening of the shell? Sometimes a detail like that can differentiate one species from another very similar one.

They look like Achatina fulica. Could you take a photo of the underside of the shell?

I think they are almost certainly Achatina fulica. It isnt possible for Achatina fulica and Achatina reticulata to hybridise as far as I know, apparantly they are too different genetically.

I'd say fulica, I had some with that pattern but it pretty much all went brown as they got older
