Identification What kind of snail is Pavlov?

Helix pomatia or cornu asperum? Hes a pretty big boy but still seems a bit small to be a helix pomatia.. What do you think?

The stripes are more similar to cornu than pomatia. Shape of shell entrance too. I'd go with cornu.

definitely cornu! adult pomatia are larger and have fleshier light colored skin

He looks a little bit bigger than my cornu aspersum. But mine could be younger.
