Any pet should have its own name that suits him the most. Various snails, including Achatina, are very popular among exotic lovers. What nicknames can I choose for a snail? We have collected the most original and interesting names for Achatina snails.
Criterias of choice
Usually, pet names are chosen based on gender, appearance and color. With snails, things are a little different. The fact is that snails have no sexual characteristics and it is very difficult to say who is in front of you - a boy or a girl.
Anyone who has long been interested in these cute creatures probably knows that they have signs of both sexes. So we can assume that they belong to the middle family.
What to call a snail? It all depends on you. Many owners, looking at a cute snail, immediately decide that they have a girl in front of them and choose female nicknames. If you can not decide, then it is worth a little to observe the snail, its habits and character. By the way, if you give a masculine name, and after it turns out that this is a girl, then the mollusk can always be renamed. Ideally, of course, it is better to choose such nicknames that are equally well suited for both the boy and the girl. For example, Sasha.
It is worth noting that, according to statistics, it is the larger individuals that lay their eggs. Therefore, often the happy owners of Achatina give female names to large pets, and to smaller ones - male.
In order to choose the right name for your pet, you should carefully look at it and understand who it reminds you of. Perhaps this is some kind of animal or cartoon character. Thus, it will be easier for you to decide on a nickname.
