Reproduction and Follow-up of Embryonic Development of Achatina fulica

Although Achatina fulica is hermaphrodite, the fertilization process in this type of snail occurs internally and in conjunction, and the mechanism of reproduction is to place the eggs in groups in a hole and then cover them with dirt. The stages of embryonic development from laying the eggs until the hatching process took ten days and after hatching. A small individual similar to the parents emerges. The criterion for embryonic development in this study focused on the noticeable increase in the size of the fetus with the progression of time or the age of the fetus during the egg incubation period.
