Achatina immaculata
Summary
The temperature reading: 24-28C
Humidity: 60-80%
Columella color: pink to light purple
Adult sizes: 10-15 cm, clutch size - up to 200 eggs. Achatina Immakulyaty not whimsical, well grow and reproduce in captivity, the optimum temperature of the content of 24 - 28C.
Very fond of clover with the addition of chalk, ground into powder eggshell. Fruit and vegetables prefer: tomatoes, avocados, pears, apples, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes with milk, etc. They prefer high humidity.
Immaculata highly polymorphic. Wide variation in colors of shell explains the disorderly proliferation. Snails do not choose a partner for mating by coloring the shell. Initially, perhaps, was a pair of the variations in coloring, but in consequence of the rapid multiplication of irregular got a lot of variations.
They have a conical shell, the early whorls often turn white with age, and pink (except version albino) Columella deeply cut, long and frail depression about right, but can be twisted.
Like everything Lissachatina, nepionic (apparently turns that develop in the egg) turns smooth (10x). This feature helps to distinguish Achatina smithii from Achatina balteata, which has a pinkish-brown Columella.
It also helps to distinguish the species found in one habitat, Metachatina krausii (Pfeiffer, 1846). Adults of this species can be distinguished by a truncated axis (probably said about kollumelu), but teenagers can make a mistake, because they have the amount of the untrimmed axis, which can be a bit pink. Another snail, found in a similar position with the pink axis is Burtoa nilotica, which has the amount of the untrimmed axis. Yet I do not know of any other Lissachatina with pink axis than Achatina albopicta (EA Smith, 1878), but not enough information on most species, and albopicta in particular has a large, covered with a reticulated shell, not unlike Achatina reticulata (Pfeiffer, 1845).
The length and relative width of the shell is different. The sculpture is coarser than Achatina fulica and consists of a dense axial threads, broken small spiral grooves. The resulting appearance is not crushed in a large number of Achatinids, instead, has a surface that is similar to axially-aligned, short, similar to transect the deepening of 2, the structure is certainly more rude than Achatina fulica, especially around the joints that are irregular and slightly crenulate. In most cases, even the narrow specimens are shorter and more ventricose than the typical fulica.
Which is characteristic of adult snails with large shell the shell white / gray or scuffed appearance.
Achatina immaculata var. immaculata (Lamarck, 1822)
Adults sink up to 15 cm Striped variation of the band straight or wavy. Columella pink.
Mature individuals of the Limpopo Valley Private occur uniformly brown. There are samples with a blue shell.
Achatina immaculata var. immaculata "two-tone" (Lamarck, 1822)
Dwells there. Ee confused with the South African Archachatina dimidiata (EA Smith, 1878) because of the separation of color shell. I learned nepionic curls teens, and they are smooth, proving that they are a subgenus Lissachatina.

Achatina immaculata var.panthera
Generally defined a slim profile, striped, brown, sometimes with blue colors.
The fact that panthera - now synonym immaculata, means that in the past, this type of confused little man, hobbyist, because in some cases, more ventricose instances that call immaculata, was identified as panthera. As a result, now Immaculée all call and confused with the Panthers.
In most adult specimens the inner and outer boundary of the lip (Columella) is a pink border, thin on the outside, but it can extend much deeper on the inside.
It prefers calcium containing products. Just loves cucumbers, lettuce, cabbage (white and colored), carrots, pumpkin, zucchini, gammarus. Chalk, sepia and shell. Loves mashed together with gammarus, chalk, sepia and shells. Some give some Whiskas for kittens.
Loves to swim.
It is believed that the panther is better to keep separate from the majority of species, because they may behave aggressively towards them, and bite.

Achatina immaculata var. lamarckiana (Lamarck, 1822) (pseudo-shtulmany)
A small variety of Nyasaland (now Malawi), Mauritius and Madagascar, this subspecies is characterized by the same color as the sink and panthera.
There is little chance that they were originally derived from this species, though more likely they are - just small or stunted specimens panthera species.
Size: Generally, this - about two-thirds the size of panthera average sink 10-11 cm long and 5-5,5 cm wide, but can reach 14 cm in length and 6-6,5 cm in width. 7 - 8 ½ flourishes.
