Cepaea nemoralis
Introduced species of snail originally from Europe. Large amount of color variation. Has established itself in areas in the USA.
Back yard gardens. Suburban area.
We had a rain storm today and all of the snails were out in the yard. We have a ton of these guys everywhere. They are very pretty, though I'm not sure exactly how much damage they might be doing to the plants in the garden.

The first snail have such beautiful and elaborate patterns on it.
By the way, Thanks for the follow.
Oh my gosh! I have heard of those snails but I didn't realize they were in Florida (though it doesn't surprise me with all of the invasive and introduced species they have there). Holy giant snails!
An invasive I wasn't aware of. Have you heard of these guys in Florida?
