🐾 Maybe the reason I love animals so much, is because the only time they have broken my heart is when theirs has stopped beating.

Giant African Land Snail

 


A Giant African Snail (Lissachatina fulica) found in my garden. KwaZulu Natal is South Africa’s Texas, everything is bigger! 

This is one of the most damaging snails in the world because it consumes at least 500 types of plants and can cause structural damage to plaster and stucco structures. This snail can also carry a parasitic nematode that can lead to meningitis in humans.


However, Google says “snail therapy” is suitable for both young and aging skin, helps to fight a variety of aesthetic defects. Reviews indicate that Achatina mucus has a beneficial effect on the skin and does not cause side effects.

7-10 cm (3-4 in.) (Shell length)
