A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
I was on a field trip to study the natural area and human affectations on National Park "Juan Crisóstomo Falcón" and in one of our stops, Cerro Galicia, I found this snail near sitting bench in an area with bushes and small trees. That day there was a strong rain there and all the weather was cold.
Found near the bushes and trees in Cerro (Hill) Galicia. Vegetation there is mostly of humid forest and the day we went there it was raining.
A Chemist told me it could be blue not because it's naturally like that but due to metal poisoning. I'd like to know if there is a blue snail species or do I need to focus on a metal emission problem on that area.

Hi Judy, lovely spotting and information! I have removed this from the Rare Color Morphs mission until we know the genus and species. At that juncture we can determine whether this is in fact a rare colour for this creature. Thanks, happy spotting, and happy new year!
Great description! well done Judi :D
