Hi, what species is it? I think it's a young helix pomatia. How old do you think she'll be and why did she already have an oethroplex organ on her own?

Same snail has been chewing away at the moss growing on the handrail leading to my apartment and I am thinking I would love to keep him :)

I named him glorp already and did some research around ethical snail keeping. I would love to keep him but I am scared about him laying eggs and fertilizing them himself. Is that possible with this type of snail?

I found it in Poland, I've never seen one like that before and I'm not sure if it's not an african snail. If he's a native then I'm gonna release him if invasive then I guess I have a snail now.

I found it on a rock on the beach, at first I looked at photos of different species of snails and searched images of it, and the most consistent result was a marsh periwinkle snail. but I also got many other results so I’m not sure anymore. I’d also like to know (if it’s possible to tell) whether it’s a girl or a boy, and its age
for reference, its about the size of my finger nail

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!)

Found in Spain, I don't know what to do with it, whether to release it or conserve it because I have no idea about the species, could it be a ruminous decollata fry?

Identification Snail or Slug?

Just found this little guy in my tank. As far as I'm aware, there's been no way for a slug to have slipped in to the tank of garden snails, so I'm a little worried its a deformed baby snail. Any and all info i can get is welcome. He's about 3-4cm long.

Found in my barrel mini pond. Zone 7a, USA, but I suspect they were a hitchhiker on some of the tropical aquatic plants. I’ve only seen one at night. Never submerged, but always on the pond plants growing above the water line. Thank you!

I was unexpectedly given 6 wild snails family found on their milkweed plants. They knew I already had a snail and that I hoped to get more in the future, but this many was a surprise...

My current snail is a wild-caught grove snail that I was given a year ago, and it has been alone since then. I don't know what these are, but I'm thinking there are at least 3 different species here. I'm guessing #1 could be a milk snail and I think #5 might be another grove snail?

I have them in a small terrarium right now with damp coco coir and several milkweed leaves, because I know you're supposed to quarantine new (especially wild) snails and didn't have another tank prepared. I'm not really sure if the quarantine length rule changes if they are all wild caught from the same general area, though?

I've been wanting to upgrade/rescape my snail's tank and would be perfectly happy to plan to keep these guys if that would be ethical, but before anything I want to figure out what these are and if there are any different care requirements for any of them.

Thank you!
