I met this pet snail once and wondered what species it is, could anyone help identify it?   |

It looks sort of like an Achatina achatina, but it’s really dark for one.

Looks like a nice albino Tiger snail (Achatina achatina), possibly from Ghana - as far as my understanding goes, the Nigerian ones have the lighter colors in their shells.  |

Thanks but I don’t think it’s one of them, they have a yellow orangey colouring, this have dark browns.

Some Tiger snails can be really dark. He has the characteristic pink columella, "elephant skin" and the very recognizable face shape, and the stripes make the right pattern. |
