Does anyone know of any Land Snails that are found in Southern India? or know of any sites with a list, and possibly pictures of any?

Amazing colours, from the text it appears their shells aren't calcareous like the other species we are familiar with and softer?

I should hopefully be getting some South Indian Land Snails in the next few days, hopefully they can be identified, I wont know what they look like till they arrive.

They arrived this morning, they are similar to Helix species, with a light brownish shell, their body colour is very light, unfortunatly they are all retracted at the moment, but seem to all be waking up now that Ive placed them in a couple of cm of warm water. I'll try to get pictures later, but my camera isnt working well at the moment.
