Hei! I just wanted to introduce my snails to everyone. Marko is an African giant snail. Not sure what exact specie. Got him from my workmate who had many babies born and was in trouble, and is still, because he doesn't know what to do with all of them. My other snail was found by my friend, climbing on grapes that he had bought from a market. He put him in Markos terrarium and i didn't have the heart to throw him out. I named him Ants. Now they are best friends! This was Marko when i first got him last year fall (i think)! I am very new to this snail care thing and would have never thought that i would EVER have a snail as a pet, but here i am! Haha! Nice to meet all of you!

Welcome! I'm not familiar with GALs so I can't ID which one yours is, but it's colors look awesome!! The carinate shape of the smaller one reminds me of the shells of the pleurodonte/caracolus group, but I'm not certain. That would be quite a lucky find on grapes at the market.

Heippa Welcome to the forum! Nice snails, it's always so sweet when they become friends despite their differences. Too many babies sounds like Achatina fulica hehe. Seriously though, if you want your snail(s) ID'd, take close-ups from above and below their shells, and we should be able to help.

Welcome to the forums! Your GAL has such pretty colors... I don't think I've seen one so dark. As for the other guy, he's very pretty too. It must've been a nice surprise to find him in your grapes!
