did you get these from Natural World Experience? if so, I think they would be from Nigeria, but not completly sure, and would probably be Archachatina marginata suturalis, but they do look a litle different to them, maybe just because of the worn shells?
A. ventricosa are from the Ivory Coast, and possibly close surrounding countries.
What sizes are they?

I would think they are all suturalis, but im not completly sure on any of them. Ive just asked someone that I think may know for sure though.

Woah, with numbers... One of the snails looks a little bit like my degneri (the 3rd), but mine are much more greenish... I say it so:
Each guess without much thinking (only in mind which snails are currently kept)
1st snail: puylaerti 2nd snail: puylaerti 3rd snail: degneri... no... too little greenish, no clue... perhaps more pattern, ah, I don't know 4th snail: my puylaerti has such funny witish spots, too... puylaerti. 5th snail: puylaerti... 6th snail: hum... a little bit like nr. 3...
Still no guarantee, but I'm also curious... where did you get such beauties? I want some...
Best regards, achatina

Thanks for the link! Which one did you order? I wanted to add that I don't know how Archachatina ventricosa looks like, so the idea didn't popped up in my mind... but from descriptions and photos I've seen I think, your guess could also be possible... I'm curious what Kevin will find out Best regards, achatina

if they are different species is it best to keep them seperatly in same specie groups
