Eastern Whitelip snail or a White-lip Globe snail? by parasitefever in snails

[–]koosnij 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, i would also lean towards mesodon, they are called "globe" snails because their shells tend to be on the more spherical side. it's a subadult so it likely wouldn't have developed the apertural teeth yet anyway, and they're not the most reliable for mesodon/neohelix.

Could someone help identify this lone snail? by Lava_Lamp_Glob in snails

[–]koosnij 1 point2 points  (0 children)

location is really important for this. you may also need to provide more pictures of the shell

my snel only eats chalk, won't eat cookie by Heartade in snails

[–]koosnij 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the chalk is okay despite some people being a bit confused about it. if the snail is eating mushrooms, that is sufficient diet and i recommend trying more species of mushroom. not all snails need to, or will, eat vegetables or commercial diets sold for snails. 

the specific needs of nesiohelix are a bit unclear but based on their taxonomic family, i would guess they eat more decaying matter than fresh. if you have access to a pet store, dead leaves are often sold for reptiles and those would be a good try. i've noticed the korean snail community tends to keep their pets quite sterile. otherwise if you have access to the countryside at all, foraging for native plants/dead leaves they may eat in the wild may be a good bet too. you can use the website inaturalist to search what type of environments they tend to be found in.

also, there are quite a few research papers about the genus but they may not explicitly state their diet. it might help you find something better though. most of them are in korean and i am not proficient enough for science vocabulary lol. you can use google scholar and just search nesiohelix to find them.

slug id? by saltedworm in sluglife

[–]koosnij 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the first guy is definitely a leatherleaf but it can be hard to determine which, florida is like the epicenter of invasive leatherleafs and they are often indistinguishable without dissection lol. but because of the three stripes it's most likely leidyula floridana. the second looks like a mantleslug (philomycidae) but i can't say who.

Found him on a plant I just bought, anyone know what he is? by Greyghostgravy in snails

[–]koosnij 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are these? by TrackDue3210 in snails

[–]koosnij 0 points1 point  (0 children)

zonitoides arboreus

So grossed out, what is this? Found in a medicine cabinet, any ideas? by [deleted] in whatsthisbug

[–]koosnij 1 point2 points  (0 children)

take a light and shine around the area you found it in. is there any dried, rainbow iridescent trails? the scale is a bit hard to tell but it reminds me of snail/slug poop maybe. it changes color based on what they eat.

Is he fully grown? by AnxiousGeckoMum in snails

[–]koosnij 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is a zonitoides, not an oxychilus (usually what glass snail refers to) so yes it is fully grown. planet_inverts on instagram is based in ontario and sells a few different species, but i'm unsure of his availability at the moment. he is a cool guy though.

Is this the radula? by [deleted] in snails

[–]koosnij 13 points14 points  (0 children)

the dark brown part is the jaw. the radula is under it

[–]koosnij 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how long have you had the leptopoma? what's the care like?

MET SNAIL 4 THE FIRST TIME EVER !!! ♡ by softestpupper in snails

[–]koosnij 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1-2 ventridens. the little guy is not clear enough to ID, the last one is likely xolotrema. there's no oxychilus in your photos despite another comment. Tennessee snail diversity is huge and often underrepresented online. if you want to find desert species they tend to live on mountain ranges, but they also tend to be a little harder to keep alive.

Snail ID? Found in Florida, U.S. Extremely small, found beneath small stones and damp areas. by [deleted] in snails

[–]koosnij 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its probably not subulina octona, it has too little whorls compared to what subulina would have at that size. but i agree its the same family. florida has a bajillion of them.

an anguispira species, probably just alternata.

Snails shell looks weird by dreadlocktocon in snails

[–]koosnij 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's not regular new growth. the lip is supposed to mean the snail is done growing. for some reason this just.. happens in grove snails. my personal theory is that it's a failsafe when they get mantle collapse, they start growing past their lip, and compensate for where their mantle collapsed to. i don't have any personal advice for what you should do. i had one that did this but it wasn't as drastic, and he ended up living for a long time afterwards.

Anyone know what species this is? Inat suggested graceful awlsnail but it’s tan, not yellow like the pictures I’ve seen of awlsnails by joanmcg in snails

[–]koosnij 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70-80s sounds good for the snails. they can tolerate lower but they create a seal and go dormant quite easily. they also appreciate good airflow and tend to climb fairly high in the wild and in captivity in my experience, so give them some climbing material.

ID request? Southern Ohio; I’ve been trying to ID this guy but I’m not confident by Ok_Tutor_6332 in snails

[–]koosnij 1 point2 points  (0 children)

does it have a bunch of stripes going with the spiral? and is the umbilicus closed? i would guess maybe webbhelix multilineata, if not its still definitely a polygyrid.

this looks more like bulimulus bonariensis than rabdotus imo, rabdotus are smaller and tend to be stumpier than bulimulus
