The ginormous snail

These guys certainly had a surprise when finding this huge snail in their garden. And, most likely, the garden would be somewhere near a nuclear factory. It would make a plate of escargo for the entire family. Here is one really huge snail.

A la llauna!
Is fake. The position doesn’t change a bit in all the pictures. Or that or is playing dead….
Que caracol, la madre de todos los caracoles.

@ Toplus
The snails eye stalk was retracted in the second image due to the picture taker probably touching it with his foot or finger.

“Average adult shell length is 12cm, with a diameter of 6cm. In exceptional cases the shell can grow to be 20cm long…”
They average 4″ but can get as big as 7 inches and that is just the shell. Not everything on the internet is photoshopped. This is obviously a pet of someone. As you can see the left side of the shell (facing it) has been drilled and a makeshift leash has been attached. So the caption is made up but I am fairly certain that is a image of a real snail.
They can live up to 10 years and on average between 5 - 7
The largest species of Snail can grow to almost a foot in length (Again this is the shells length as they don’t change shells but the shell grows with them.)
Sorry about the minor biology lesson but don’t scream fake without doing some research as it makes you look like an uneducated clod

Dicho popular:
“Con paciencia y saliba se la metio un elefante a una hormiga… caracol”
It also looks like a fake, made with a pork lomb…
hehehe!, reminds me of this!
Tasty with some garlic, salt and butter!
EAT IT!
To the ones claiming that’s photoshoped, can you please do something about your chronical disorder ? Like :
- Make an internet community where you can show-off your mad photoshop debunking skills to one another, without annoying the whole internet.
- Just shut up.
Nobody thinks you’re smart when you cry it’s a fake. In fact you just seem like a gullible naive idiot, who thinks everything that surprise them is photoshopped.
I found one in Hawaii that was pretty big…

You internet citizens need to venture out of your caves occasionally. There are a great many things in this world that are strange and weird looking without the help of Photoshop.
when i lived in Okinawa they had many large snails about this size that everyone called “African Snails” that had been brought in by someone to combat a local pest. Unfortunately like many attempts by humans to “fix” mother nature they bred out of control and since they were poisonous the locals couldn’t eat them as had been planned.
definitely photoshopped
NO WAY MAN!!! look @ this huge snail!

I think this might be in S.E. Asia somewhere, I just saw a snail almost as big as my fist in Bangkok a couple weeks ago, but my girlfriend told me that they grow much bigger than that in the rural areas here. (hmmm, I wonder if they are poisonous?)
its achatina fulica family
kind of snail from africa and east asia
Wow! Reminds me of “The Neverending Story”
Wow…pretty big snail. For those crying photoshop, I’d love to know how that is done! I hear that all the time lately, everything is photoshopped, I have that damn program and can’t even come close to faking something like this!!
