When I got home yesterday, I found this guyhad been a stow away on my new lr. Any idea what kind of snail it is? It is about 1 1/2" long. I found a small crab too but have not been able to get a picture yet.

It looks like a mexican turbo Snail to me.

Can you post a pic of the shell opening? It looks predacious to me.

I'll try if it turns directions. What would it prey upon?

Not to thread-jack but on a related note, does anyone know a good website for snail identification? I think it would be pretty useful to have something like that bookmarked.

wetwebmedia is good, use the links on top to navigate through snail id 2, 3, etc.

Other snails or bi-vavales.
