geogphotos Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Think is must be this because of the brownish lip: The grove snail, brown-lipped snail or Lemon snail (Cepaea nemoralis) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I agree but might add a "probably". Then leave it to a snailologist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
