Agate Snail
Did you know?
The Agate Snail is the largest snail in the world and can reach an impressive shell length of up to 20 cm. Its long, spiralling shell is characteristic and contributes to its size.
The animals are herbivores that eat a wide range of plant material. In the wild, they feed on leaves, fruits and vegetables, which they crush with their rasping tongue. These snails are also known to adapt their diet to their environment, and in captivity may even eat eggshells or cuttlebone as a source of calcium.
This species of snail grows quickly, especially when young. They can reach a considerable size in a few months, making them a popular species to keep in terrariums as their growth is easy to observe.
