Extra Large Brown Garden Snail Cornu aspersum, Helix Aspersa Maxima

This is not your average garden snail. Our Extra Large Cornu aspersum are fully mature, slow-grown snails raised to their maximum adult size—measuring up to 4–5 cm across the shell. These are the oldest, most robust individuals from our breeding group, ideal for experienced snail keepers or those seeking a standout specimen.

Their thick, well-formed shells and confident, slow-gliding movements make them a joy to watch—and a perfect addition to educational displays, nature centers, or personal snail collections.

Why Choose an XL Snail?
