I do not know whether these are Albino retics or Fuls so please could someone identify them for me as they were sold to me as Retics and they are breeding like mad so I need to sell the babies. cheers ;D

i'm not 100 percent but they look like fulis to me, the shell just seems too smooth compared to my retic, and it also looks too dark a colour and not enough patterning. don't take my word for it though as i'm not particularly experienced in identification some more pictures would be useful though. EDIT having another look at the pictures from above of the shells, the tips look quite a different colour, i haven't seen this on pics of standard fulis before so i'm not sure, i'll still stick with my original theory that they are fulis though.

I agree, they are Achatina fulica.

They look just like my Fuli, the whitening to the tip happens as they get older.

Yes I'd agree that they're fulica, and beautiful ones. Albino Achatina fulica (or Jades) are prone to shell problems and stunted growth, but your's look beautiful and strong to me They're lovely.

Why thank-you, I do have lots of pets and they are all fantastically looked after, If I dont mind saying so myself. I do love my snails though, always have liked snails it started when I was little.

They are very pretty specimens I must say and for future reference you put the eggs in a bag and put the bag in the freezer for a few days and then put them in the bin
