Style Name:Giant African Land Snail Kit The Komodo Giant African Land Snail Basic Kit provides the essentials you need to get you started in owning a Giant African Land Snail. The scientific name for the most commonly kept species is Achatina fulica. The basic kit includes a terrarium (39x25x24.5 centimeters), temperature and humidity gauge, tropical terrain substrate, a spray bottle and a kidney shaped water . To set up, simply place the terrarium in a suitable position (away from drafts and direct sunlight). Prepare the substrate, empty into the habitat, and mist or dampen if required. Position the thermometer/humidity gauge, and put the filled water into the terrarium. Finally, place your snail carefully into its new home and secure the top lid. Its as easy as that. Giant African Land Snail facts: An adult snail grows to about 20centimeters long and they have an expected lifespan of 5-10 years. These snails are herhrodites, which means that each snail has both male and female reproductive organs. However, an individual snail needs a partner to be able to reproduce by cross fertilisation. They can be handled, and are quite docile and slow moving. They also get along fine with other snails, so you can keep several together in this habitat. Land Snail care: The substrate included in the kit should be prepared and laid in the terrarium to a thickness of at least 5centimeters to accommodate the animals natural behaviour of burrowing and hiding. Some Komodo Habitat Bark will also provide cage enrichment and an rtunity for climbing different textures. It is perfectly safe to handle Giant Land Snails. At first, they will be still, but when you have earned their trust, they will usually come out of their shell and start to crawl about. Heating and lighting: Giant African Land Snails come from the tropics of East Africa, so the humidity level should be kept quite high, and this can be achieved by keeping the substrate damp with regular misting. Ambient light is sufficient for these nocturnal creatures who generally avoid bright light and excessive heat. Feeding: Snails are peaceful vegetarians. Their favourite foods are leafy greens like lettuce, cabbage and cucumber. Place the food on the floor and sprinkle regularly with Komodo Calcium Supplement for ivores to provide an essential source of calcium. The snails will gain much of the moisture that they need from their food; they will still drink from a water . The water level should be kept shallow so that there is no danger of drowning. Optional extras: Komodo Calcium Supplement with Vit D3, Habitat Bark or Woodland Moss. Box Contains ------------ * Each order comes with 1 x Komodo Basic Giant African Land Snail Kit
