I may be wrong but the last 2 look similar to helix pomatia, can anyone else help?

The 3rd one looks quite similar to my baby Aspersa. Can't say for certain though, x

The one with the orange on the shell could be H. aspersa.

So, I digged up one from my disk that is sure helix pomatia --> comparison with no. 4 agrozoo.net/jsp/Galery.jsp?id_tezaver=17392&l2=en1. I found on google images with edge of shell yellow as on 4, I guess that can be changed with age/size 2. If both images on upper link are h. pomatia, then number of spirals allso changes with size/age ? The third one cant be h.pomatia nor h.aspersa coz its shell is flat. About one with orange line I'm going to belive to moderator

Hi there, the first picture can never be Arion, because the repsiratory opening is in the back half of the mantle shield. That means it has to be one of three families: Limacidae, Milacidae and Agriolimacidae. I tend to the latter, I would say it is a Deroceras reticulatum. Concerning the other pictures: No way this is an Oxychilus - the shell form is all wrong, that's a Helicid juvenile, a very young one - hard to say which species. Check this page: That is an Oxychilus. This I tend to agree to Helix pomatia, though I have problems with the orange stripe, never seen that one before. And this obviously is a juvenile of the former. I should imagine, also a Helix pomatia, though there are other Helix species! Kind regards Robert
