Platymma tweediei is arguably the largest snail from the Peninsula of Malaysia

It is also known as the fire snail due to its distinct red coloring

Fire snails can only be found in the Peninsula of Malaysia

They can only be found in an area of about 100 km in radius, 1000 m above sea level

Turns out, they have been intensely collected from their natural habitat to sell as pets

But it’s very difficult to keep them alive in captivity
