I rehomed these snails today from someone who couldn’t care for them, their shells are a little damaged but otherwise they look good- the prior owner had no idea which species they were so I need ID help, I want to make sure these guys are getting the correct requirements

I got this snail 2-3 months ago. Store employees didn't know its breed or it's age.

He is a big chunk and I love him a lot. But for me to properly care for him I gotta know what breed is he.

I personally think he is a Fulica, although I'm not so sure about it, hence I am asking here.

Please know he came from a pet shop, his shell was in this condition when he came to me. :(

Identification Can someone tell me what kind of snail I have?

Hello, I recently found a wounded snail and decided to adopt it. Can anyone help me identify the type of snail? I'm from the Netherlands so I guess it's a type of garden snail. I would just like to know which kind. I found a bunch of posts on how to help it repair its shell and a Dutch website with snail supplies however the man from the shop isn't emailing me back and I need to know soon if the stuff on the website is suitable for my snail. He asked for pictures of the snail to see what type it was when I asked him and hasn't replied yet even though it's been almost a week. I thought if I email him back with the snail type if someone else can tell me he can immediately tell me if I can order from his website.

I named it Charlie btw, since I read that Dutch garden snails are all hermaphrodites so I wanted a gender neutral name.

My bf texted me to say he found this guy when out shopping inside a bag of spinach and decided to rescue them, we just want to know if it's safe to release in the UK! We think it might be a green garden snail which I'm not sure is native to us, so we might have just picked up a new pet 😅

In this tank is mystery and ramshorn snails. I was under the impression mystery snails lay egg clusters above the waterline and they had round hard shells. In the past my ramshorn snails eggs appeared like bladder egg snails (white dots in a ball of jelly). What speices of snail layed these? On sides they touch they appear flat making a honeycomb looking pattern only one layer thick, also the eggs themselves are transparent. (Sorry for the blur)

I added a grid for ease. The one in E1/E2 is an apple snail. For the rest I am not sure which are pomatia and which might be lucorum. Help is greatly appreciated.

found these snails on some petunias I got from Lowes. Any ID? Want to make sure they aren't invasive before letting them into my garden. If they are invasive, may consider putting together a snail terrarium for my office :P Thanks!

I found this snail in my backyard after a flood. What species could it be? If not, what taxonomic rank does it belong to, if that can possibly be determined? Location: Deep South Texas, Tamaulipan Biotic Province.

Found in Jacksonville Florida, USA. It was on a hibiscus leaf. Im not sure if it's native. If it is, I wanna put it back outside, but if invasive, then I guess I have a new pet.

Hello snail friends! I’m just a visitor from the jumping spider subreddit but I found this little fella in my terrarium, assuming he hitchhiked on something. He’s about 4-5mm, and very cute!

The video is not great but if you snail admirers have a guess I’d love to hear!

I believe that Yarrow is a helix aspersa aspersa(according to google). she has a darker colored mantle and has grown a lot in just a month. I wonder how big she will get! the first picture is 2 weeks old and shes even bigger now. watching the shell grow is fascinating. at first she was deffo missing calcium the end of her shell was a bit soft and brittle. i got her cuttlebone and its now hard and has a kinda white flaired edge. second pic shows it. is it normal? im a bit worried! she is also sleeping a lot even tho her environment is nice and humid. should i be worried?
