This morning, my Grandmother brought me two new snails from her garden. One's a beautiful little baby aspersa, but the other I'm not so sure of. Of course, I have absolutely no experience with snails outside my aspersas and cepaeas, so perhaps it's no wonder I'm stumped. It'd be great to know what this little guy is so I can house and feed him correctly. Thank you in advance!    sorry for the bad photos- my little brother has spiriting away my camera and my grandmother's isn't as good. Hopefully they'll do- I'll get some better ones up ASAP |

Thank you for your quick response c:
I've done a brief googling, and from what I can tell my little guy looks very similar to a zonitoides nitidus. However, he has a white stripe going along the spine of his shell (does that make sense?) which, as far as I can see, none of the specimens in the image seem to have. I'm afraid the camera owner's departed, so I can't get an image showing it more clearly.

The stripe might just be a slight variance, but either way it's some kind of zonitoides for sure judging by the looks of it.
