Pomatias Elegans???

[natrat84]

Hiya everyone
I have found a pomatias elegans snail. I brought it home and have got it in a little tank, BUT are they protected/endangered? If so I can return him. If not, is anybody interested in this species? He hasn't come out yet, got his little trap door shut. Just want a bit more info on them really as I can't find much on the net.

I already found Pomatias elegans here, in mountain, called Sintra. It´s an unusual snail.
