[edit] Copyright Violation?

Much of this article seems to be taken directly from a Journal without attribution [1] (especially the Impact section). Chovain 04:39, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm trying to clean this up now. -- Where 23:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I couldn't find anything besides that section that is a copyvio. Thus, I'm removing it from the Possible copyright violations category. -- Where 23:05, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Life Cycle

"Adult size is reached in about four months, but growth may continue slowly beyond this up to at least one and a half years."

umm isn't "up to at least" two conflicting statements, as upto implies a max life, and at least implies a minimum. Something worded a little better and perhaps giving and average and estimated max lifetime would be nice.Dabigdeez 20:25, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

some of the caring for giant african land snails might be useful! Sir Basil 11 19:51, 20 June 2006 (UTC) Sir Basil 11

[edit] Illegal in US

http://exoticpets.about.com/cs/rarespecies/a/pestsGALs.htm claims they are illegal in the US. It's a terrible reference, I know, but better than nothing. I didn't want to completely revert the previous user's edit because it contained some extra info that looked legit. Chovain 06:06, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
