I recently found a R. decollata while collecting inverts in the hill country of Texas. I have it set up and already it has produced a clutch/batch of eggs.
Does anyone here keep them. Really cool OMNIVOUROUS snails...eating both decaying plant matter and brown garden snails...yep..it was introduced from the Mediterranean to eat the pest snails.... these guys grow a 1" long cone shaped shell...pretty cool...I searched hard but couldn't find others... hopefully I'll be able to start a colony of these great land snails...
Here is a link to a picture I found while using the google search engine...just so y'all know what they look like!
