need help Iding snail

Flower1982 · Nov 28, 2008

I found this snail in the plant tank at work so i took the little guy home with me. Well it's been a few months and he's gotten bigger. I just have no idea what kind of snail he is. I was thinking he was a trapdoor snail but I'm not really sure if that is what he is or not.
Here are some pictures of him. Sorry if the pictures aren't very good.

Doesn't look like a Trapdoor to me.. though I can't really tell. Any chance you can take closer pics?

Looks like Tarebia (Thiara) granifera - Quilted Melania

You can take a close-up picture by holding a magnifying glass in front of your camera lens. Just hold it onto the cameras lens and there you go--a new macrolens!

I'll have to find a magnifying glass first lol. I do have a macrolens but it's for my other camera.
