Yes! You got it right 8D
Its Achatinidae c:
So...It depends on what you define as easy. But yes...i guess they are really handy pets.
Just take care that its not too cold and always a bit moist (depending on the subspecies) put in food and put out poop~
You can shower them from time to time under the tap. They LOVE that and become hand-tame very fast.

Oh, and these are the guys we have in Florida and GA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achatina_fulica
It depends on where you live ^_^
In Europe you can buy them at reptile markets from breeders and pet-stores (sometimes...but pet-stores are BAD. Most of the time they don't take right care of the animals and the poor snails are ill and stuff like that!)

Weeee~ I love African Land Snails. I don't know if these are the same since they are so pale though D: My snail-knowledge is not good enough to know for sure XD! They're gorgeous, I really love snails. I used to work with exotics/insects and these were one of my faves (as well as hissing cockroaches mwahaha!)
Lovely stuff x
Lovely stuff x
Haha...cockroaches are awesome too 8D
So...sadly i don't know the subspecies of this pale guys, since i got them from an emergency (they forget to destroy a nest of eggs and so many many baby-snails looked for a new home)
Exotic animals are beautiful...and so interesting to look and. And funny to take care of c:

Your snails are really handsome! I love their pale bodies contrasting with their lovely rich shell colour. It's hard to beleive that they start off REALLY tiny when they first hatch out and end up so big XD I love how they feel when you hold them, that strong foot of theirs is incredible. They're so cute, I used to look for garden snails when I was a kid and used to love watching them. I guess people find that a bit odd but I guess it's no different to keeping fish... they're just great to watch. XD
Cute! Check this out too! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1147235/
My friend wants one so bad, but can't get one b/c it's illegal in our country. :C

My God! DO WANT!!
I just adore snails~ I only have pet freshwater snails myself, but I would love to get me some saltwater and land snails as well one day (^^)
My oldest snail is over a year and his name is Bubba~ But he's not that big(about the size of the tip of my thumb)... not like some of his children, lol...

Jaaa. Big snails are funny, because you can see everything much better (like the beautiful "skin")
(Mein Englisch ist schlecht...deshalb...)
Ich hab sie von einem Bekannten, dessen Schnecken Eier gelegt haben und der dann vergessen hat das Gelege abzukochen (die legen 50 Eier auf einem Schub, man kann sich unmöglich um alle kümmern) Aber dann waren sie schon geschlüpft. Und lebende Tiere zu töten...nein :c
Deshalb hab ich ihm die zwei abgenommen, damit sie ein schönes zuhause haben.
Man kann solche Schnecken auch auf Exotica-Tier-Börsen kaufen. Aber dort werden sie meistens wirklich unmenschlich gehalten...und eigentlich sollte man das nicht unterstützen :/ Aber es gibt auch gute artgerechte Züchter hier und dort :3

Ahh omg snails! <333
I've never spoken or been in contact with anyone that has these as pets. Does their terrarium take up a lot of space? I'd imagine they'd need room to slurp around n' stuff. Are they big eaters? I'm guessing they need to eat some sort of calcium lick to keep their shells strong. I should probably do more research instead of asking you a bunch of questions, but owners tend to have better advice than a book or article ^^;

Aww. I am glad you are intrested c:
So...yes. They need calcium-source. You can give them that white stuff birds get too (sorry, my english)
And they really are strong eaters XD Mine love all kind of green stuff~ but no fruits (strange XD)
The terrarium isn't that big at all~ they can use it 3D thats why they have lots of space c:

Awesome, I've got a totally arbitrary weird question.
I'm pretty sure I've been nibbled by a leopard slug—kind of a rasping feeling, vaguely irritating but not painful. Still kind of weirded me out though. Meanwhile, these guys are obviously much larger than L. maximus, so I'm curious: ever been nibbled by one?

Oh snap! Those are the biggest snails I've ever seen!! :D
They're amusing critters. ^-^
Their appearance brings to mind a good line from "Aliens": 'How do you plan to get a dangerous organism past ICC Quarantine?' x3
What sort of enclosure do you keep your snails in? What sort of living conditions do they need? :3

Is it wrong to want to lick or chew on something after seeing this picture? >.>...
Gahh... thought this whole oral thing was not that bad but seriously my mouth is like watering D= Freaken weird. I could never eat a snail. I can't even stand the thought of stepping on a slug. I avoid walking on the sidewalk at night cause I think I might squish one. o.o;

Could I ask, How much does one eat?
I think I may want one, I was thinking of getting a pet, although I was thinking of a bird (a conure) But now thinking of it, that snail looks really awesome.
I was just wondering a few things about them?
Like their size or, eating, or tanks for them ect ect

yeah like many others i thought this was not a real snail, oh my god they are enormous
i'm not much of a snail person but these look cute... terrifying but cute... i don't know why but i have always had a bit of a phobia of snails, slugs, worms, maggots... i can handle reptiles and everything else and dead things, like nothing.. but snails... *shudder*i still love them though, i move them if they are in danger of being squashed

I thought I faved this when I first saw it then couldn't find it when trying to show someone a few months back. I'm glad to have found it again! I adore this picture, if it weren't for the fact it sounds like they are illegal here I would read up on them. I don't want to fall more in love though and get disappointed. D:

werden die noch größer?
wie alt können die werden?

kann ne schnecke gefühle zum menschen aufbaun?
