Can they live outside?

0

In the summer they could, but they could pick up parasites from the snails that live here in the UK and die. You must never, ever release Giant African Land Snails into the wild. They would not survive our climate; they would freeze to death in the winter, they have no immunity to diseases that are carried by our native snails, and in places they would have trouble finding enough food. Basically, ‘freeing’ Giant African Land Snails in the UK or any country where they don’t belong is extremely cruel. Owning Giant African Land Snails in some countries is illegal, let alone releasing them into the surrounding environment! If you have too many snails please contact me and I will see if I can help.
