Leonardo, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I think, I found the same species on Borneo and Thailand.

You're welcome "BennoIbold"! And, the "Achatina fulica" are very common around the world. In the pass, many people pthought that it was edible, and took in his travels. When they discovered that can't eat it, was abandoned in nature and it proliferate.
