While not so many people choose to keep snails as their pets, these cool animals are pretty interesting nonetheless.

It is also known as the fire snail due to its distinct red coloring

Generally, the term “snail” is used to describe terrestrial shelled gastropods or mollusks, as well as sea snails and freshwater snails.

Some snails are used for food, their secretion is used in cosmetics, and their shells are often used as decorative objects and in jewelry.

They can only be found in an area of about 100 km in radius, 1000 m above sea level

Some snails can grow up to 30 cm in size. The biggest known species is the giant African snail, which lives in Ghana.

Turns out, they have been intensely collected from their natural habitat to sell as pets
