The present work shows the colonization of Acathina fulica in Sincelejo, at the time that reports the occurrence of this exotic and invader species in Sampues, Sucre, Colombia. Applying interview to the residents of the different neighborhoods of both cities the presence of the African giant snail was recognized, later samplings allowed the capture of individuals that confirmed its presence. The calculated density was between 0.0031 and 0.0044 ind/m2, which is relatively low when comparing it with established record for other countries. The size of the specimens, measure as the longitude on straight line of the shell, didn’t present significant differences among the sampling areas and it is significantly smaller to that established as maxim size for the species. The data obtained in this study show an increment of the dispersion of A. fulica in the Sucre department territory, that although it is incipient and it doesn’t still represent an imminent danger, it should be assisted with the due care, given the possible devastations that like plague possess this species at environmental and agricultural level.
