The Giant African Land Snail – often just referred to as GALS – is the classic pet of many a classroom, a perennial favourite and often the gateway species to exotic pet keeping. Simple to keep and impressive as an adult, they are an ideal first species for those who are interested in invertebrates, but have no experience of their husbandry.
