I Googled for that name. People actually keep them as pets! I had to Google for the name as well; I remembered the nemoralis bit, but not the genus, and googling was faster than figuring out where in my library to find a mention. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

My guess would be cepaea hortentis. Very common in my garden. Most folks only see those big brown/green ones. |

As far as I undestand it, the difference between nemoralis and hortentis is the colour of the lip. (brown or white) Too dark for me to go look now. -- Pete C London UK |

Nemoralis, in my experience has fewer bands on the shell and your photo fits exactly hortentis for me. Other views may vary and I never mind being proved wrong. I am always up for learning from those who know better, but for me, it's hortentis. |

I'm curious.........how do you and others know so much about snails? I mean, this is a gardening group.......snails are a PITA. My original post was made in the hope that someone may just know, but I never expected this amount of knowledge. -- Pete C London UK |

Some of us like to gather knowledge all the time, sort of like Eggheads on BBC2. You never know when it will come in useful. |
