Helix aspersa
I was walking back home in a summer evening when I spotted lots of snails on the garden wall. There were a few big ones, and a lot of tiny ones. I hope the bricks can give an estimation of their size. I don’t know whether the tiny ones were babies hatched, or another kind of snails hanging around the big ones. The tiny ones looked different from each other, maybe different species or just not so look alike siblings! Anyone has got any idea?
Seems the same with variation in color. But it would'nt hurt to separate that as well..4 and 5 look similar.
I thought since it is a baby, it's shell is sort of transparent and different. So, do you think picture #4 has two different species as well?
you should separate # 3.
Number one looks like the garden snail ,Helix Aspera.
I don't live there any more, and I don't know whether there was any lime stone around. So, do you think I would need to divide them into two spottings?
looks like you have two species of snails here. The snail in picture one seems to be a Helix sp. Do you have lime stone around you?
