First off, I live in the midlands in the UK.
I think this little guy may be a Hygromia cinctella, although I thought that they were only found in the south? Could he be any other species? Also- does anybody know how to care for these little guys
Also this guy:
I found a lot of these in my garden, I've never seen them anywhere else. They are not Oxychilus' even though you can see the light though this quy's shell. They have textured shells and vary in colour from medium brown to almost black, and lack the bluish body of an Oxy. I have no idea what these are! Any help would be appreciated. They are small but quite a bit bigger than Discus snails also, and look very different. Both Oxychilus sp and Discus sp live alongside these snails so I was able to compare them, so there's no way they are the same snails. I'd say they get to about the same size as a medium Oxychilus alliarius. Could they be Trochulus striolatus? Any care information on these guys would be good too
Thank you!
