Why I Love These Snails – And You Might Too
I created this site out of a lifelong passion for snails. Over the years, I’ve kept all kinds — small garden varieties, exotic species, and even rare morphs. But the ones that truly stole my heart were the Giant African Land Snails, often referred to as GALS.
These snails are so much more than a quirky novelty. They’re gentle, curious, and genuinely enjoyable to observe. Unlike pets that demand constant activity or attention, GALS offer a calm, meditative presence. They glide, stretch, explore, and interact with their surroundings in slow, deliberate ways that are both mesmerizing and relaxing.
Whether you live in a small apartment, a shared house, or just prefer pets that are quiet and independent, Giant African Land Snails are a fantastic option.
The Appeal of Giant African Land Snails
If you’re new to these amazing creatures, here are just a few reasons people are falling in love with them:
1. Unique Appearance
Giant African Land Snails are stunning animals. Their shells can grow to over 10 cm in length, and they come in a variety of colors and patterns. From smooth, light-colored shells to bold stripes and swirls, every snail is a little different.
2. Easy to Look After
GALS are one of the easiest exotic pets to care for. They don’t require heating lamps, daily walks, or expensive diets. A proper enclosure, a good substrate, regular misting, and fresh vegetables are enough to keep them happy.
3. Quiet, Clean, and Low-Allergy
These snails are silent, odorless, and don’t shed or trigger allergies like furry pets might. They’re ideal for small homes, allergy-sensitive people, or anyone who wants a clean and peaceful companion.
4. Great for Kids and Adults
Snails are fantastic for families, classrooms, and curious kids. Watching them grow and behave teaches patience and responsibility, while also connecting people to the natural world in a fun and accessible way.
5. Long-Lived Companions
With proper care, Giant African Land Snails can live 5–10 years or more. They don’t require much but give back plenty in terms of companionship and charm.

Your Snail’s New Home – Setup and Care
Before your snail arrives, it’s best to get their new home ready. Here’s a basic overview of what they need:
Tank or Terrarium
You’ll need a glass or plastic container with a secure lid and good ventilation. The size depends on the number of snails, but a single snail can be happy in a 20-30 cm enclosure.
Substrate
Coconut coir or pesticide-free soil is perfect. It should be at least a few centimeters deep so your snail can burrow. Keep it moist, but not soggy.
Temperature and Humidity
Room temperature (20–26°C) is usually fine, but avoid extreme cold or heat. Humidity is important — mist the enclosure daily to maintain a humid environment. A hygrometer can help monitor levels.
Feeding
Your snail will enjoy leafy greens, soft fruits, cucumber, sweet potato, and more. Always wash food before giving it to your snail, and avoid anything salty, spicy, or acidic (like citrus).
Provide a constant source of calcium — such as cuttlebone — to ensure proper shell development.
Cleaning
Spot clean daily by removing leftover food and waste. Change the substrate every few weeks and give the enclosure a good rinse with water (no harsh chemicals).
Who Should Get a Giant African Land Snail?
GALS are perfect for:
- People living in small apartments or shared housing
- Busy adults who want a relaxing pet without high maintenance
- Children learning about animals and responsibility
- Seniors or those with limited mobility
- Pet lovers looking for something unique and peaceful
They’re not suited for those wanting an energetic or interactive pet like a dog or cat, but for the right person, a snail can be a deeply satisfying companion.
