Hi bobbiflower, welcome to the forum.  Very nice little snail you have there! It would help if we knew what part of hte country you were in, because that will help narrow down the possible species. It would also help if you somehow knew where that Walmart got its plant shipments from, because the snail originated at the nursery, which may be hundreds of miles away. |
