TODAY'S FACT IS
Did you know that the Malaysian Fire Snail (Platymma tweediei) lives only in the Malaysian mountain forests?
Their limited range leads to a very specific set of parameters in which the snail can live, making them difficult (but highly desired) as pets. Beloved for their striking colours, their black shell (usually with 3-4 whorls) pairs well with the black of its back and bright red foot.
These beautiful animals are highly coveted by collectors and poachers but are extremely sensitive to changes in their environment and often die shortly after removal.
