Mystery Terrestrial Snail

Data:

Location: Manchester, England

I was out running last night (August 08, 2004) in the rain and I came across this strange snail.

I was wondering if you could help me because it is very strange looking

thank you Katie

Identified as: Cornu aspersum (Helix aspersa)

Ideas:

  • Malformed achitina fulica maybe?? Avril B.

  • It is a scalarid Cornu aspersum (until recently better known as Helix aspersa) or European Brown snail (Petit Gris for the French).
    Best regards, Henk M.

  • Your specimen is a malformed Helix aspersa. Geoff M.
