Sorry for posting this here- there are a handful of boards I can't post in, including identification (I assume because I'm a new member), but I mostly joined the forum to get an ID and maybe care tips for the species. I've been interested in keeping snails for a while but hadn't found anywhere selling them nor come across them in the wild for some time (since it's been cold outside for a months now), but last night I found these two snails under a rock in my backyard. I live in northwest Arkansas if that helps narrow it down. Just wondering what species they are and if they would make a suitable pet! Thanks in advance!

They are Mesodon, although which species: I don't know. Difficult to tell since all the species in the genus look relatively the same. Based on Arkansas they are either M. thyroidus or M. clausus. The care for them is basic, any standard guide for common garden snails (Cornu aspersum) will also work for Mesodon.
