There's not such "common" fulicas there is dark fleshed and white jades, but also you can say most common species in petsnails etc.. And this is Achatina Fulica it is.

I agree it does look like an Achatina fulica, and it is most likely to be, however there is a possibility that it may be an Achatina immaculata. If you could turn your snail over and take a photo of the opening of the shell it may be useful, but if I were to bet then my money would be on A. fulica.

I agree with the above, too... and anyhow it seems to have a somqwhat unusual reddish hue on its flesh -immaculata tend to that-. although immaculata has usaully a larger texture. Seeing the columella would clear away any doubt
