I think they might be the Giant African Snails - they have them at my son's nursery school . . . and they've just successfully bred them

these are a different species and dont prouduce many if any eggs.

you should freeze the unwanted eggs.

then bin them.

releasing them into the wild i actually illegal, someone did thsi in america with like 3 snails, they soon had thousands and spent millions on an eradication programme.

so if they manage to survive here then oops.lol

and it si gettign warmer so getting more likely.lol
