Two weeks ago, when my mum was going through her hanging basket she found a 'giant snail' she said it was about two inches tall and about one an a half inches wide, and it had the patern on its shell of a garden snail, unfortunatly i never saw the sanil and as wondering whether it may just be a new growing size of garden snails, or a diffrent thing altoghether or it was just normal. Also in my tank at the momnet are about 6 clutchs of eggs and i am happy to say 3 of them hae hatched and the babies are growing quite quickly  |

I wonder if the snail could have been a Helix pomatia? They look like giant garden snails.

hello:)
I looked into your suggestion and found a picture of it on the pet snails website and showed my mum, she said it was quite like that one but had the garden snail pattern on it. Thats the only picture ive seen of that particular snail so wheter it shell comes with that pattern sometimes i dont no o.o She also added it was quite big it was a chunky monkey ^^. Strange person indeed.

Take a look at some of the images here. There is a variety of shell patterns to be seen. It's also possible the snail could be a Helix aspersa maxima. |
