What kind of snails do I have? Aug 30, 2014 22:58:53 GMT

How can I tell what species of snail I have? I have been doing some research online, and have come up with nothing. I am in the upper peninsula of Michigan in the US, and plucked them out of the woods. Their shells are red or yellow, and range from the size of a dime to the size of a quarter. Thanks!

Without pictures, though, it's hard to make an accurate identification.
