I can not find any information about these snails. All I get are those ones in Europe that are fine eating. Those are more of a appetizer, it would take a lot of them to make an entree. Many find the thought of eating them repulsive, perhaps because you can tell what you are eating but same with mussels, lobster, crab and shrimp. Bring me a plateful and I am all in. But this snail isn't that snail.
I pretty much covered it in the title. Pretty much the same size as a larger garden snail but yellow with a pink lip at the base of the shell.
I think I have one more shell to go after this. But I am thinking route 66 for my next vacation so it may be a bit until I get more shells.

You would think it makes them hard to blend into nature with that color..
Thank you very much TallCakes. You always have the answer.
Thank you very much Dave. Must be a lot of yellow there.
