Think this is in the wrong forum as its a mollusc not herptile, and not British. The other name or latin name is Achatina Fulica . 3 eyes are you sure? they should only have two and two tentacles lower down without eye spots on them. Welcome to the site, |

Hello and welcome
I agree with dogghound. My kids kept ALS's and they have two tentacles below the eyes which are also retractable. If it has got three eyes its certainly a rarity.  |
