Just thought I'd share some snail pictures!
My zachrysia porsovias, Europa (the white-shelled one)+ babies:

Europa:
I'm not sure why Europa has a white shell, she's had it since I found her. It doesn't seem to effect her, and it's actually quite pretty. In some of the pictures, you can see the damage done to their shells from a mite infestation I had. They're slowly healing...
My two queen crater snails, Bismuth (brown hued) + Andromeda (Lighter one)

Bismuth:
Bismuth is probably, in my opinion, one of the prettiest snails I currently have. Andromeda randomly appeared in the tank one day, before I got Bismuth. I suspect their egg got brought in on some moss.
My flamed tiger snail, very un-creatively named Tiger (in my defense, it was before I knew what it's species was called xD)

Spends most of it's time buried, and only comes out at night, making it hard to get pictures of.
My asian tramp snails, Centauri (stripe) Mariner (no stripe) and Karl (squishing his face between the glass and carrot)

Sadly, Centauri's sibling, Proxima, died fairly recently from unknown causes... they were about 3.5 years old, as is Centauri.
My mesodon thyroidus, Ember, who will be seven years old this upcoming summer.

Two unidentified snails, Orion and Jupiter:
Orion:
Jupiter:
Two unnamed snails, I have found their species before, but I can't remember what it was... tri-something, maybe? triposphis or something like that...
Some misc wild snails I have found, including southern flat coils, a rosy wolf, and marsh periwinkles:
Sorry about all of the links, most of the photos I was able to upload in albums to Imgur, but some didn't properly transfer from my phone to laptop, so I had to use the pictures I posted to Instagram some weeks ago. But eau, those are my snails! I hope to get some cepaea nemormalis/hortensis, cornu asperum, pacific sideband, some native Floridia species, more meson species, ambersnails, and basically any other snails I happen to run in to. This spring, I will be driving from where I'm at, in Ohio, to California, so, I hope to find many cool snails along the way!
OH, I almost forgot, some pictures of all the snails (and slugs) together after I gave them a bath. (from when I was sterilizing everything in the tank due to a mite issue)
