Hi every,
I was helping a friend in her yard across town from mine. I found the strangest snail I have every seen. She also had regular snails in her garden also.These strange ones were almost like a sea shell shape snail? But all were missing the end of the shell or bottom of she'll?

Also I have never seen this type of snail in my yard or every for that matter!
Thank you for any help, it will be greatly appreciated.

After googling a bit I found this one that looks like it might be the snail in your friends garden: http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG... apparently only legal to introduce to certain areas of your state because of the possibility of becoming invasive and displacing natives.
