So cool!!!!
What kind of enclosure do they have?
What do they eat!

They live in an aquarium ( without water, of course:D), They eat salad and all kinds of fruit and herbs and sometimes dryd gammarus crayfish. They need a lot of calcium to enlarge their house:D

Yes it does. :)
They can be eaten. In Africa they are a delicecy. But I do`t want to eat them.
No need to .....:cool::D
Do they smell badly?
Apparently the type of giant African snail that came to south Florida really stunk.

They don`t smell. Otherwise I would not have them in my dining room. Interesting thing why your snails in Florida smell.

The plastic tortoises I saw and I must have them ! They are so cute !

The state of Florida trained dogs to find the snails to try to get rid of them.
Our smelly snails are larger I think. Maybe they're only stinky to a dog. Dogs are much more sensitive.
A quick GOOGLE search says that they are "as big as a rat and can eat through the wall of your home."

Giant African snail is only the name for many different subspecies of African snails. But I think a rat is bigger.
But I understand that in Florida this snails are a big problem. Like in Germany the racoons. They are set free to the wilderness in 1934. That was one pair of them. And now they are all over Germany and make problems because they have no enemies,
