The size of a human fist, giant African land snails can grow up to 8 inches in length and 5 inches in width.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized six giant African snails at Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) from a citizen of Ghana on March 9, officials said.

Steven Bansbach, Public Affairs Specialist for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the Chicago Field Office, wrote in an email to the Detroit Free Press saying giant African snails are prohibited in the U.S.
