Thank you very much for your info Annika! Yes I think this species must be the Cepaea Vindobonensis. For more info on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cepaea_vind...
Thank you again for helping me ID this species! :)
This snail might be Monacha spp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monacha (in your region), Cepaea spp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cepaea http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Catego... (not in your region but the descriptions fit better), or Theba pisana http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theba_pisan... (description and location match). Any suggestions?
