I was actually searching for a yellow Cepaea with no stripes/bands. Didn't find one, but I did find this one with a very pretty shell. The shell is multicolored with a pale brown transitioning into a deep reddish color. The photo's don't do it justice.    |

Gorgeous indeed! Whenever I see this morph out in the wild, it always amazes me. Even prettier, the red single-banded morphs! 😍

They're both so pretty! Have you named then yet? Nope! I want to name the reddish one after a gem. Considered Ruby, Pearl or Parel (Dutch for pearl). I found her in a mussel shell. Then considered Coal for the second, but not sure yet.  I also have two other snails that still need names, these two:  Suggestions?  Edit: Cherry might be cute too |

Hmmm... The one on the left could be Treasure, with those cool golden spots. The other... maybe Silver?

I do like those names especially Silver because that gives a positive feel to his shell being withered. However I do feel a bit awkward around English names, because I kind of want them to sound okay in Dutch too. Hazel for example, I had to name her that because the name just popped up in my mind whenever I saw her. But it sounds totally awkward to say it when speaking Dutch  I'll think about it  |

Gorgeous! Whenever someone says snails gross them out I always am just like... LOOK at them, really look at one and it's impossible not to see how beautiful (and sometimes adorable 😜) they ade
