    Abstract
    The main objective of this research was to evaluate the quality of mucus got from snails cultivated under different conditions. This was achieved by keeping the snails under different temperatures, collecting the slime and testing it for the quantities of allantoin in the laboratory. Snail slime that contains higher quantities of allantoin is higher in quality in comparison with that which has lower quantities of allantoin. The results showed that temperature seems to negatively affect the quantity of allantoin in the slime produced by Giant African Land snails. It was concluded that the lower the temperature, the higher the quality of slime produced by the Giant African land snails. The hypothesis that the quality of slime from Giant African Land snails was affected by temperature was supported.
