Is this a Alien girdled snail (Hygromia cinctella)

[littlemiss]

I have just found these on some pots that I was cleaning in my garden. I think they are Alien girdled snails (Hygromia cinctella) but they seem to be flatter then the specimens I have seen on the net.

does anyone know more info on these guys?

certainly looks like one! there are scientists tracking the spread of this species. you should check out this website and report your findings!

Hi there,

I agree, though the colouring is also quite weird, the white stripe being much brighter as I am accustomed to.

Cornerning information on Hygromia cinctella, there is also this information on my homepage:

Leaf snails (Hygromiidae), part II: Hygromia cinctella.

Best regards
Robert

thank s guys. Both the snails have bright white bands which stand out even though they are tiny. Thank you also for the link, I have reported my findings.
