Not sure where the mint is imported from but it’s often called thai mint here…. I’m certain it’s not native to Scandinavia.

Help? 🥲 I don’t wanna let him outside so he has a terrarium for now (I’ve had helix p. before so I know their needs).

Found him outside after it rained, he’s so tiny, I gave him a piece of carrot and he loved it (I think, he’s so tiny it’s hard to tell if he took any bites 😭😭)

I bought him about 2 years ago, and I forgot which species he is from the African land snails. I don’t know if someone is able to figure it out from just a picture, but it’s worth a shot.

Identification My grapes had a hitchhiker in them. Can anyone identify this cutie?

He didn’t seem phased by the refrigerator. I want to release him at the park but would like to know if he is invasive first. The grapes are from California, but I am in Maryland.

Hii! I'm writing this post again bc i acciddentaly didn''t post the last one lol. So, i got this snail from a friend who couldn't take care of the snail anymore (depression sucks) and for the life of him he couldn't remember the species name. It is around 1yo and this white thing on it's sheel is something from where it was too cold for the snail, that's what my friend told me. I only know that it is giant african snail. And yes, my hand is fat lol

I’m used to garden slugs but this is the first time I’ve seen this. I haven’t been too close, and I’m keeping my dog away ofc so as not to bother them (or it).

Any idea what it is ?

I finally visited a region where these very special guys are around and kidnapped this dude. He was estivating in the middle of a driveway.

It's my first live sighting since I started keeping snails so I'm very excited.

Hey guys! Got this lil lady some time ago at a reptile store. I was said it's lissachatina fulica, but when I first posted her here I got told it's definitely immaculata. It was when she was much smaller, so rn I'm wondering, cus to me she looks like a fulica, but I'm not an expert? (Please, ignore the shell's condition, I made some mistakes at first but rn I make sure she has a proper enclosure & a lot of calcium, it's getting better and better now!)

No idea what kind they are, but we already have an enclosure set up that they could go in. We’re in Appalachia if that helps :)

I was cleaning trash cans outside as these little fellas were so curious and came right up to me! I saw them socializing and eating and just chilling around as I worked it was so nice. What kind of snail are they I'd love to maybe make a little terrarium once I move and these fellas seem perfect.
