Owl's Snails

[owlkitties]

I figured I would start a thread for my pictures seeing as it would be annoying to start a new thread each time. Again I have no idea what exact type of snails these are. Right now I have three; Zoot the biggest one, Misha the darker one, and Turbo the two toned one. Enjoy!

I am also a professional artist. Though I haven't painted many gastropods... I did paint this leopard slug. I do take commisions as well and ship in the USA! To see more of my work please visit  www.facebook.com/ImagineKeepsakes/

Your snails look like Helix Aspersa to me, nice tank:)

justice Well look at that. There that are! Thanks for that ID. Also thanks to the compliment on the tank. I have owned reptiles and Tarantulas in the past. I did a lot of research into snail ownership and merged my knowledge of herp care into the creation of their tank. They seem to like it a lot more than the critter keeper.

I love the blending of the colours! Looks very much like snail skin. Wait, do snails have "skin", or just the surface of their flesh?

Wow, the things you think of while looking at art.

I think they've been reclassified as 'Cornu Aspersa".
