Land Snail (Cryptozona sp.)

Time goes by so fast. There is no time to relax; everyone is racing to reach the finish line. But that doesn't apply to snails. They live a relaxed and carefree life. "If you can do something relaxed, then why rush?" maybe that's the snail's motto. LOL!

I noticed this snail crawling in the leaf litter. Could it be a land snail? Judging from the snail's physical appearance, it seems so.

The snail's shell is mocha brown with dark brown spots, disc-shaped with a spiral pattern on the surface.

I observed that this kind of snail likes a moist environment (wet soil, leaf litter, or damp twigs).

I tried moving the snail to a green leaf and photographing it from another angle.

Oh, this guy feels uncomfortable. That's not where it should be. Put it back on the ground, and then say goodbye.

Hey @birdwatcher. Sorry, I haven't connected to iNaturalist yet. There is a requirement that I produce some scientific observations; only then will my profile be displayed to the public. This may take a few days :)

This snail looks very beautiful and even though it walks slowly, the snail has very interesting characteristics, especially its shell which looks very cool.

They are indeed easygoing animals, haha, but it is an animated film that shows the true speed of snails, believe it or not they are unexpectedly fast

That's a beautiful shot buddy
