These are my Giant African Land Snails, they are called Apple and Cabbage.There are some British Garden Snails in the picture to show how large they are.I got the snails in mid May from Cardiff Museum, when I got them their shells measured 4.5 c.ms but now the biggest one is 8.2c.ms and the smaller one is 6.5c.ms.Their favourite foods are cucumber and lettuce and they love Cuttlefish bones. They eat Cuttlefish bones for the Calcium which keeps their shells growing, they can grow as large as 20c.ms from head to tail.They are from the rainforests in East Africa especially Kenya and Tanzania but mine seem to be living quite happily in their tank.

This is my dog Wag on a very hot day at Goldcliffe, Newport. She is fourteen
years old but she looks much younger.
Wag likes nice long walks and she is always gobbling up titbits which we give to
her.She particularly likes bones, chicken and other types of meat.In fact she likes most things but does not like lettuce. She likes playing ball with me and my Dad and she likes her friend Ozzy the Border Collie.
