Archachatina papyracea, known as the Dwarf West African Land Snail, is a unique and somewhat lesser-known member of the expansive Archachatina genus. Native to the tropical rainforests of West Africa, you may be familiar with its much larger relatives, like the Giant West African Land Snail. Unlike the more popular giant species, Archachatina papyracea stands out primarily due to its smaller size, although it’s still a significantly larger snail than you’ll find in your back garden. However, what it lacks in size, it more than compensates for in its shell’s intricate design and lustre. The shell often showcases a beautiful combination of earthy tones marked by striking patterns or bands. The Dwarf West African Land Snail requires a similar environment to its larger Archachatina counterparts. This means a humid habitat, mimicking the tropical conditions of West Africa, along with a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, protein and calcium supplements. Perfect for those who have space constraints or are seeking a more manageable pet, Archachatina papyracea offers the beauty and intrigue of giant land snails without the challenges posed by larger species. Whether you’re a seasoned snail enthusiast or a newcomer, this dwarf variety is an adorable addition to any keeper’s collection.

If you’ve received an unwell animal in the mail:
1. If it is safe to do so, (your pet is not medically significant or harmful) please remove the animal from its transport container, ideally onto your hand. We ask this as invertebrates, particularly insects, are experts at ‘playing dead’.
2. To provide you with the best advice going forward and to confirm the condition of your pet, we kindly request a short video of the animal in question before your refund can be processed. This can be uploaded on our ‘live guarantee refunds form’, or you can email it straight to us.
3. We typically respond within 24 hours, but please allow 1-3 working days for a response. Once it’s confirmed that you are eligible for a refund, we’ll get process the credit to your account.
We’ll need this information to reach us within 7 days after you’ve received your pet. We cannot provide any live guarantee to animals that have been refused, returned, or not collected.
