They can actually lay up to 200ish eggs in a clutch. They aren't asexual however, they are hermaphrodites, so they do need another snail to mate with. Giant African Land Snails are actually part of a Savs natural diet. They are illegal around here so the sale of them is prohibitted at shows.

Weird. They are supposed to be able to survive freezing temps, droughts, and food shortages - I believe this is one of the reasons they are illegal in most places across North America.
