Hi there, I daresay it would be easier, if the pictures were posted directly here, so we do not have to click over there all the time and also it would be easier to compare them. Anyway, I do not think they all are Trichia hispida. The second snail appears to be quite flat. Also, it would be good, if we could see the shell navel (umbilicus) and the aperture. I assume, this one could also be a species of Petasina. The first one I am thinking along the lines of Euomphalia strigella. The third one, in any case, appears to be a juvenile, so quite hard to indentify. But hair snails are very difficult and very diverse, also there would be the question what actually does live in Slovenia. Also the family is not Helicidae, but Hygromiidae, as of www.weichtiere.at/english/gastropoda/terrestrial/hygromiidae2.html. Besides: Not all hairy snails are Trichia / Hygromiidae, there also are the Helicodontidae (Cheese snails, not because they smell, but because of their cheese-loaf-form) and even the Isognomostoma isognomostomos (the snail with the longest and most enigmatic name... [The Englishman who went up a hill and came down a mountain]) of the Helicidae family has hair. If I knew what species it is, I would love to have that picture for my homepage - it is very very good - I love such snail pictures. Kind regards Robert |
