Helix aspersa
Two pairs of tentacles, one pair with eyes at tips (see photos), one pair short. Body grey or cream. Shell brown with dark brown streaks and spots
Moist gardens in South Africa
Introduced from Europe. I always wonder whether this is the same snail that is offered as a dish (escargots) in restaurants??? I've heard it was introduced into South Africa with the vines from Europe
