| | | Small snail ID help please
Whilst playing with the hand lens in front of the macro I took some pics of some very small snails. I wonder if you could help me identify them

Hi BB,
I'm no expert on snails, but I left a couple of suggestions on the Gallery comments book.
Can't remember what I said now though  |

The last picture looks like a Garlic snail. So named as they smell of garlic. |

With regard to the other one,I think the whorls may be a little too 'flat' for Cochlicopa lubrica, which, I think, has whorls at about a 30 degree angle to the shell. | | |
