(OR HOPEFULLY SOON :))
Thank you for coming to this page, that means that you like snails so much you want to have one. And that you want to buy a snail from me and that means A LOT! Really! Again, I want you to be happy with your purchase because if you are happy, the snail you bought is happy and then I am happy (happy snail = beautiful snail = best promo for a breeder). So please ask any questions you might have and please do not get upset that I refuse to ship a live snails when there is a high chance he/she get hurt or even dies because it is too hot or too cold outside (and no, heat packs are not 100% safe).
Best option? Come see me to Prague - every month there is a great event Ziva exotika and I decided to have a table there every month of 2023. We talk, you choose the prettiest snail and as a bonus there is a discount for every face-to-face purchase! So see you there! :)
ARCHACHATINA MARGINATA OVUM
XXL F1
Yes, I am the owner of the celebrity snail and the author of the famous photograph. One TV from the UK even asked me to provide some interesting funny video material to make a TV spot about my giant snail. Well, he doesn't really do anything funny - just as his roommates, he enjoys good food and being left alone most of the time :).
I keep three breeding groups of wild-caught snails that come from Nigeria. Two groups consist of shorter but bulky snails (17-18cm) and the third group is a pair of longer more narrow snails 21cm and 21.5cm
PRICE F1 (smaller parents): 400 Kč / 16euro
PRICE F1 (bigger parents): 500 Kč / 20euro
STATUS: NOT AVAILABLE
ARCHACHATINA MARGINATA OVUM
Albino shell F1 or F2
I keep two breeding groups of wild-caught snails that come from Nigeria and one group of F1generation (this group is bred in-house so related to one of the wc group).
The wc snails are a mix of 11cm and 12 cm, F1 snails overgrew their parents and reached 13cm.
PRICE F1: 390 Kč / 15euro
PRICE F2: 250 Kč / 10euro
STATUS: F2 NOT AVAILABLE
STATUS: F1 Last pieces AVAILABLE
ARCHACHATINA MARGINATA OVUM
Silver body
I have two breeding groups consisting of snails from various sources from the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary and Slovakia. Supposedly some of the snails are with generation but honestly every time I ask someone to explain where they purchased their F1 or even WC silver ovum, their elaborate explanation just looks like a lie created to increase the price.
So I sell my babies without generation and rather focus on a nice rich color of their body. There is only one price. I do slelection based on color. If I feel the color is not nice - it is too light it looks almost albino or too dark and brownish it look like a cream shade of a wild color, I rather eliminate the snail from further breeding.

ARCHACHATINA MARGINATA GREVILLEI
XXL size "gold" F1 and F2
I have one breeding group of wild-caught snails that produces three types of offspring. Large yellow snails with yellow apex - those I do not sell because the look kind of like albino shell ovums (except that their columella is bright pinkish red, not orange) and it would just cause even more "yellow snail confusion" than there already is. The other type is a marble form grevillei - a lovely gently striped snail that you can see elsewhere on this page.
And the third, my personal favorite, the classic type colored grevillei snails that are however huge - that's why I call them "XXL". In every clutch there is only a few of those (sometimes none at all), that's why the price is high - the second most expensive of all my archachatinas. But sure worth it. Or, if you want to save a few euros, there is already F2 generation available.
PRICE F1: 780 Kč / 32euro
PRICE F2: 560 Kč / 23euro
STATUS: AVAILABLE
ARCHACHATINA MARGINATA GREVILLEI
Standard size "gold" F2
I have one breeding group of snails I brought from Poland - those are of standard size (just as you would expect from grevillei) with a very bright pink apex (more saturated than my wild-caught snails and their offspring and also much bigger portion of the shell is pink). Those are also much more productive so the price of the babies is a bit more friendly :)
I also created one more separate group consisting of two Polish snails and two snails I bought in Austria a while ago to mix up the genes a bit but those haven't produces any eggs yet.
PRICE F2: 450 Kč / 18euro

Please note: Cheaper when purchased at any event where I am present.
ARCHACHATINA MARGINATA GREVILLEI
XXL size "marble" F1 and F2
I have one breeding group of wild-caught snails that produces three types of offspring. Pure yellow snails with pink or yellow apex and then this other form that I call "marble". Those gentle stripes start more prominent and as the snail grows the shell gets this overall caramel shade.
Again, I couldn't resist and created my own F1 breeding group so currently there are both F1 and F2 babies available. Compared to the pure yellow snails they appear in clutches more frequently so they are a bit cheaper.
PRICE F1: 700 Kč / 28 EUR
PRICE F2: 480 Kč / 20 EUR
STATUS: AVAILABLE
Please note: Cheaper when purchased at any event where I am present.
ARCHACHATINA CAMERUNENSIS
F1
OMG I am so proud of these guys! I have never seen anyone selling F1 snails but myself :). So yes, there are my most expensive snails.
There is plenty of wc arch. camerunensis but those seem to have a hard time to adjust. Plenty of people contacted me, saying, their wc snails died within a week of purchase. But please do not worry, F1 are very different. Yes, many fresh hatchlings die but once the F1 snails reach a certain size they become very low-maintenance.
I still have some adult-size snails from 2021 (some of my customers have noticed signs that might lead to first mating) but also a new "batch" from 2022 is currently available.
PRICE adult: 860 Kč / 34 EUR
PRICE juvenile: 650 Kč / 26 EUR

ARCHACHATINA MARGINATA SUTURALIS
Dark body F1
I bought my wc suturalis group because they were just incredibly beautiful. And not only that. I started with this species ten years ago and it breaks my heart to see how they lost their impressive color, how you have to rely on columella to tell them apart from ovum because their apexes just look alike. Well, their babies didn't disappoint me, they are beautiful.
There is however much fewer of them than I expected. WC suturalis parents are not very productive. There are only a few babies from last year available, nothing hatched over the winter. So do not wait too long because soon there might be none available :)
PRICE F1: 350 Kč / 14 EUR
STATUS: AVAILABLE
ARCHACHATINA VENTRICOSA
Dark body F1
OK, I love ventricosa. They are one of my favorite species because they are green, sometimes really green. They are big snails with voluminous shells. So just a perfect combination :)
I used to have only two F2 breeding groups - leucist body and dark body. But I started to feel that the offspring of the dark ones are losing both size and colour of the body (too light) so I decided to keep only the leucist and started looking for wc snails. Last year I finally succeeded and now I am able to offer first offspring with beautiful dark foot.
Please note, babies of all green green snails start brown, always (you can see adult's apexes are brown or pinkish-brown). So do not get disappointed when you look at my baby pictures or do not get fooled when someone tries to sell you green babies ;)
PRICE F1: 360 Kč / 16 EUR
STATUS: AVAILABLE
ARCHACHATINA VENTRICOSA
Leucist F3 and cream body F3
OK, I love ventricosa as I described above. I have a dark bodies wc breeding group and also a leucist group (white body with black eyes) that gives both leucist and cream bodies babies.
Why do I not keep only the wc group if in my into paragraph I stated that I like to specialize in F1 generation (or F2) snails? Well, these ventricosas are special. With green snails you never know - some babies turn green, some remain brown and some become something in between. But this group produces pretty much nothing but green babies and that is awesome! :)
PRICE F3: 320 Kč / 14 EUR

PLEURODONTE ISABELLA
"Blue" form
The only little guys I trully enjoy because they are so easy going. And yes, they are the only blue snails I have, which makes them special. OK, they are really not blue, they just look bluish the way their body shows through the light shell.
I got my breeding group from Austria about 3 years ago and they have been doing great - no issues what so ever. So if you like snails that are fast, active all the time, not scared of touch and forgive you all the mistakes you might as a keeper make, this is the right choice.
