They are such pretty snails. Are they native to Russia? I hope you don't mind my asking but am such a newbie.

Thank you for your reply! As we all know Russia is not very warm country

. But because of Worlds' climate warming Roman snails are now native even for Moscow region. Where I've got them. And for south of Russia they are very ordinary animals.

I'd really tried to create very natural atmosphere in their house. Sophie, you are quite right, they are helix pomatia. Fredrik, thank you!

Anyway, lovely snails you got. sophie The roman snail is another name for the H. Pomatia, so I'd say you were right they do look like them alot.
