Around here two species are sold as ramshorn snails, a big one
and a small one. both have a flat coil shell. The large one is
often two-toned in the shell; these are nice looking but can
eat tender plant parts. The small species is such a common pest
it is seldom sold for money; It doesn't eat plants. A red-bodied
variety used to be sold but I haven't seen it lately. It was
probably an albino.
