Difficult to tell from the picture. Could be the garlic snail, if you pick one up and give it a sniff does it smell of garlic?

However i suspect that although they may smell of garlic that and other defensive compounds secreted would make them taste horrible. p.s. if you're interested the scientific name for garlic snails is Oxychilus alliarius, they're lovely little snails but can make your hands end up stinking of garlic! |

Anways, I think I might have seen snails that look just like the ones above one time when I went on a trip to a ravine further west of where I am in North America. |
