You may think I'm crazy when I chose this title but you have to see this!:





Does anyone know any Italian species you can't get in England cause I'm going there camping in the Alps in may Plus were going by ferry

Partula tohiveana - according to wiki extinctinc the wild but I'm not sure look em up there so cute ;D

OOOOH, it was Italy that got me into snails in the first place. I brought back from their 1 Helix Pomatia!!! I was on a trip with 'Acorn Adventure' and the lake that we did water sport in was surounded by grass and their were literaly hundreds of the Helix Pomatia all over the place. Their is an Italian snail called the Theba pisana known as the white italian snail. il add a picture of it to this post as well as a picture of "Bob" (the Helix Pomatia I brought back from Italy). If you could get ahold of a bunch of Helix Pomatia and a bunch of Theba Pisana, Id be most interested to purchase 4 or 5 of each from you. I live in England to by the way hears some pictures:
