Hey guys! I've been friends with someone for a while now since having snails and she has a snail that is 18months old but is literally the size of her WHOLE hand .... ive never seen such a big one ever! What is the biggest fulica anyone has had here or known of? To cut a long story short, shes asked if i can give him a loving home as her son is no longer interested, He's a gorgeous snail and im really hoping i can give him a good home!!!  Take a look at Gary  |

Lucky you!!! He's fabulous hi Gary x I had two huge fulicas. They were SnailCrazy's then mine, and unfortunately they and their achatina tank mates all died, it's a mystery as to why. The archachatina species were all fine, as are all the snails in my other tanks. Anyway - they both had 5.75 inch shells and were wild-caught. Sad loss, they were gorgeous. But for a captive bred snail fulica your's is huge! Is he the pride of your snail family? If there were such a thing as snail pin-ups for teenaged snails to drool over then your Gary's picture would be up on snail-tank walls across the country |

Hes not officially mine yet, although i have said yes to re-homing him with my guys!
Rachel is letting me have the tank too so that will save me buying a new tank for him, im quite excited!!!!

Gary's gonna eat a whole head of lettuce everyday, haha! That's massive! Do all Fulica's get that big, or is Gary unique?
