Not all breeders know that most snails are bisexual. A boy snail may suddenly turn out to be a girl and lay a large clutch of pearly eggs. The owners of the mollusks enjoy watching the romantic relationships of the adults, and then look forward to the hatching of the translucent babies.

Unique and unusual nicknames

Giant African Achatina snails have gained popularity among Russian breeders. Mollusks weighing up to 700 g replace kittens and puppies, become attached to the hands of the owner and sometimes squeak funny.

The impressive Queen does not want to share food with the little Infanta:

There is a theory that in African snails the sex is determined by the structure of the shell. The direction of the curls to the left or to the right determines the females and males. It is interesting to watch the life and love games of giant Achatina, and we suggest choosing an unusual nickname for your gastropod.

Home cosmetologist

Let's get back to home procedures that don't require killing snails at all. Cosmetologists advise using African slugs for daily massage. According to reviews of specialists who practice alternative methods of treatment and facial care, Achatina copes with this task perfectly. The snails must first be washed in cool running water (you can use one individual, but it’s better to use 2-3 at once). Next, prepare your face and neck as for a normal procedure - cleanse with cosmetics to remove makeup and impurities, rub in a little regular milk. Afterwards, sit comfortably in a chair and let the snail crawl across your skin. The milky “bait” is pleasant for the mollusk. Gradually it will “go through” all areas of the face and neck, leaving healing mucus. After such a cosmetic “session,” you should return the animal to the house, rub the secretions into the skin and leave it for 15 minutes, like a regular mask, until completely dry. The result will pleasantly surprise you: the skin will tighten, become fresh and velvety. The best cosmetologists, whose reviews confirm their qualifications, recommend carrying out this procedure at least twice a week. Or better yet, every other day.

Foreign nicknames

Large snails, native to Tanzania and Somalia, are suited to sonorous English nicknames. Breeders write that Achatina are desperate travelers and eat everything, even important documents left unattended.

Criterias of choice

Usually names for pets are chosen taking into account gender, appearance and color. With snails things are a little different. The fact is that snails do not have sexual characteristics and it is very difficult to tell who is in front of you - a boy or a girl.

Anyone who has long been interested in these cute creatures probably knows that they have characteristics of both sexes. So we can consider them to be neuter.

What do you call a snail? Here everything depends only on you. Many owners, looking at a cute snail, immediately decide that this is a girl and choose female nicknames. If you can’t decide, then it’s worth observing a little about the snail, its habits and character. By the way, if you give a male name, and later it turns out that it is a girl, then the clam can always be renamed. Ideally, of course, it is better to choose nicknames that are equally suitable for both a boy and a girl. For example, Sasha.

It is worth noting that, according to statistics, it is larger individuals that lay eggs. Therefore, happy owners of Achatina often give female names to large pets, and male names to smaller ones.

In order to choose a suitable name for your pet, you should take a close look at it and understand who it reminds you of. Perhaps it is some animal or cartoon character. This will make it easier for you to decide on a nickname.

Star names

The owner of funny gastropods wants to give them sonorous names in honor of their favorite characters from films and cartoons. Perhaps with such nicknames the snails will become famous and become Instagram stars.

For example, Achatina named Schwartz has every chance of success!

Water

Gill snails prefer to live in salt water. There are individuals that live in fresh water bodies. Snails with different shell colors have been bred under artificial conditions.

Helena

Inhabits the flowing waters of Southeast Asia. Loves rivers with muddy banks. Adapted well to life in aquarium conditions. The diameter of the shell does not exceed 20 millimeters. This snail can live for about two years. A distinctive feature is that it uses its fellow creatures as food. It also feeds on settled particles of fish food. Aquarists keep it to reduce the snail population in their tank. Helena prefers slightly salted water with medium hardness.

Ampoules

They are small representatives of the gastropod order. Ampullaria live in fresh water bodies of Europe. It has a special cavity divided into two parts. With its help, the snail breathes both underwater and on land. At home, individuals with a yellow shell color are popular. Its diameter sometimes reaches 7 centimeters. By nature it is omnivorous. In aquariums it feeds on algae particles and food debris that has settled to the bottom. The optimal water temperature is 20–25 degrees. Acidity and hardness must be maintained at a neutral level. Lack of microelements leads to the destruction of the shell. They lead an active lifestyle. They tend to reproduce frequently. Life expectancy in captivity is 1–2 years.

Bitinii

They live in shallow waters in lakes and rivers of Asia with peaty soil. This type of domestic snail receives oxygen using the gill apparatus. It has an olive or gray body color. The specimen's shell is strong. It can be smooth or ribbed. These gastropods are not distinguished by their large shell sizes. Its width reaches 9 mm. Aquatic plankton and plant detritus are used as food.

Luzhanki

They live in fresh water bodies of central Europe. There are 5–6 relief turns on the cone-shaped shell. This type of aquarium snail does not lay eggs like most gastropods, but gives birth to live snails. Tolerates temperature changes well. In the wild, it survives even when frozen in ice. They are good aquarium filters. They feed on leftover food from the bottom of the tank. You should be careful, as the meadows become food for cichlids and other predatory fish.

Trumpeters

They have impressive body size. The length of the shell reaches 23 centimeters. The shell is colored light brown. Its habitat is the waters of the North Atlantic. Individuals breathe using one gill cavity. They are predators by nature. His saliva contains a special substance that paralyzes the victim. The diet is dominated by mollusks, plankton, and dead bodies of fish and animals. The female is capable of laying up to one thousand eggs, which are attached to the ground or stones.

What can you name a boy?

Generally speaking, snails can be considered boys or girls only conditionally - they are hermaphrodites. Therefore, the owner himself has the right to “endow” his Achatina with one gender or another and give her the appropriate name. Most often they suggest focusing on the following data: if the snail is dark, large, with a brightly colored shell, then it is a boy, and if its color is dominated by delicate shades of brown, and it itself is small, then it is a girl. Here are some funny nicknames for boy snails that we suggest you consider as an option:

Lizun;
Sprinter;
Ferrari;
Schumacher;
Racer;
Borzik;
Shustrik;
Mr. Slime;
Rogatik;
Losyash;
Ulysses;
Busik;
Bucephalus;
Gelik;
Skorokhod;
Snotty;
Shurshik.

How about naming your pet after your favorite actor, movie or book character:

Eddard, Jaime, Tywin, Tyrion, Jorah, Robb, Brandon, Loras, Stannis, Renly, Sandor, Gregor, Joffrey, Robert, Rhaegar, Aegon are the heroes of the acclaimed series “Game of Thrones”;
Aragorn, Frodo, Gandalf, Boromir, Legolas, Sauron, Gimli, Bilbo, Samwise, Saruman - it would probably be unnecessary to mention that these are the heroes of the beloved saga “The Lord of the Rings”;
Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Ironhide, Brawler, Barricade, Ratchet - from Transformers.

Other types

Melania

He is a tank cleaner type, like all representatives of this breed. They eat the remains of rotten food at the bottom of the aquarium. The size does not exceed three centimeters. It has a gray-green shell color with dark stripes. They cannot tolerate low water temperatures in tanks, since in the wild their habitat is the tropics. They multiply quickly, which causes inconvenience, as they are difficult to breed. They spend most of their lives buried in the ground. The hard shell serves as a defense mechanism against predatory fish. They feed on settled fish food. If desired, you can include pieces of vegetables in your food.

Fiza

Has a small body size. It is useful for the aquarium because it cleans the walls of the tank from white deposits. The unusual shape of the shell allows it to penetrate into corners of the aquarium that are inaccessible to other inhabitants, and the presence of pulmonary respiration allows it to live in different habitats. The water temperature when kept is 22–24 degrees. Feeds on aquarium algae. The state of the gastropod's shell determines the level of acidity in the tank. Its elevated level leads to the destruction of the mollusk's protective word.

Neritina

A typical representative of the gastropod order. It has a different colored shell, on which there are many stripes in a chaotic order. Its size does not exceed 2 centimeters. Feels comfortable at a water temperature of 24–25 degrees. The level of hardness and acidity must be maintained at a neutral level. Life expectancy reaches one year. There are several snails belonging to this breed.

Coil

It is a useful representative in the reservoir, as it maintains the condition of the aquatic ecosystem. The main feature is the consumption of bacterial film formed on the ground or walls of the tank. It feeds on plant matter and can survive in dirty conditions. Body coloring varies. There are individuals of cream and dark shades. Dead algae particles and the remains of fish food on the bottom are used as food. They live for about two years.

Marisa

One of the large types of gastropods. The diameter of the shell reaches 5–6 centimeters. Its size depends on the quality of food and conditions of detention. Feels good with average water hardness. The temperature should be 23–25 degrees. It feeds on algae and fish food. Sometimes it crawls out of the tank, so when keeping this type of snail you need to get a special lid. Life expectancy is 1–2 years.

Before choosing any type of snail for your aquarium, be prepared to provide them with a comfortable standard of living, taking into account the preferences of certain gastropods. Do not forget to spray the homes of gastropods, as well as the snails themselves, with water. Remove remaining food so that it does not start to decompose. Then the snails will delight you in the aquarium for a long time!
