Hello there! This morning I went out in my garden and came across a huge amount of snail shells! I found about 50! So I took them inside and put them in a cup and turned on the tap (I saw no snails in their shells) So I washed all the shells, all of a sudden I saw this head pop out from one of them! It had turned out that he was just far up! So I got a glass pot and put him in there with some food. Here he is take a look!...

Looks like a Rumina decollata - be aware that these are predatory snails that hunt and eat other snails and slugs.

Ohhh yeahhh it dose... (Checked Wikipedia) This snail will not eat a Rumina decollata right? Only different ones? Like worms and slugs.

Very nice. Rumina generally won't bother each other when kept together.

Great finds. I don't see these too often on the site.
