Snail Types
|
There are literally millions of different types of snail and I have absolutly no intention of trying to list them all to you here for the main reason that I simply don't know them all, and that even if I did the list would probably be to long to read in a lifetime. But although I am not by any means providing an encyclopedia, here are a few I have collected. Probably the broadest categories you can put snails into are 'Land snails' and 'Aquatic snails'. My personal interest lies mainly in land snails, so that list is considerably longer. If you are particularly interested in a certain type of snail, click on its picture for more imformation and links. Land Snails |
