I really like the 3rd snail.
How big are these snails? do you know the country they're from?

the first one looks like a garlic snail (Oxychilus alliarius), and the third and fourth look like cepaea species, the second picture isn't very clear

1.- Hygromiidae? 2.- No idea 3.- Cepaea nemoralis 4.- Cepaea sp. (young Cepaea nemnoralis???). In Italy have 3 species of Cepaea (C. nemoralis, C. sylvatica and C. vindobonensis). For me is a C. hortensis, but is not describet in Italy. Is it possible to put a photo of the back and other of the mouth of the snail? (For the first one and the second snail). It would suit to put also a coin to be able to compare sizes.

ermm..id say snail 4 was c. nemoralis cus hortensis never get that pattern.
its not easy to know about oxychilus ID unless u carefully examine the shell but if it smells of garlic when u poke it its alliarius.
