✨Oh snail expert, I summon thee, what kind of moon snail would this be?✨

(Location: Cape Cod, bay side, near Orleans)

Snail spotted!

Diagnosis: Policininae sp. Common name: N/A Notes: This is either Euspira heros or Neverita duplicata. The two are hard to tell apart from above - if there's a callus over the umbilicus, it's N. duplicata, and E. heros if not.

Hi! What is this snail? I found it in a little garden on Maui in Hawaii

You've found a...

Diagnosis: Lissachatina fulica Common name: Giant African Land Snail, African Giant Snail Notes: Unfortunately, this species is highly invasive in Hawai'i. On the plus side - free pet GALS!

do you know what this snail is? the cv on inat said it’s an asian tramp snail but i’m not sure. this was in fairhope, alabama

(also do you id slugs too?)

Snail spotted!

Diagnosis: Bradybaena similaris Common name: Asian Tramp Snail

Sadly, I don't ID slugs.

I was moving this snail from some Hostas and it just slimed onto me. And kept exploring. I didn't know they could be this friendly.

Snail spotted!

Diagnosis: Cornu aspersum Common name: Garden Snail Notes: Snails can be surprisingly chill! There's a surprising amount of personality between individuals, I've found. Some like to hide in their shell when disturbed, while others will pop right out and explore.

Do you know what kind of snail my sons are? I think they’re just baby garden snails but I’d rather ask the expert :3

Ooh, man, this one is difficult. Juvenile snails are super hard to tell apart! I can say for sure it's something in Stylommatophora (though that alone isn't saying much, since most terrestrial snails are in that group). It really depends on where you found this little guy, too.

My gut instinct is to point at Bradybaena similaris (Asian Tramp Snail), since the thin stripe running over the shell is highly reminiscent. But it also looks a lot like some European snails, such as Euhadra sp. and Monacha sp. Or, as you suggest, maybe it's a young Cornu or Cepaea.

Anyone else have thoughts? I'm especially curious about the opinions from people who breed snails, since they'd have the most experience with juveniles.

Hello (ignore my url pls) I found these little guys outside in Mexico. What are they? Maybe I can take them home if they turn out to be invasive (and I can catch them)

You’ve found a…

Diagnosis: Rumina decollata Common name: Decollate Snail Notes: These snails are indeed invasive in the Americas. They’re carnivorous and have no problem with hunting and eating other snails, including members of their own species, so make sure to keep them in separate tanks from any other small pets you may have.
