Description

This is a land snail although found near the C-51 canal between Lake Worth and West Palm Beach, Florida. Liked the textures and swirl. It was large enough to fill the palm of my hand - about the size of a baseball. The snail was still inside the shell. This photo was taken today as I finished my jury duty. Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous comments. Dana

WOW - quite a beautiful house that this fellow is carrying around! Glad you didn't step on it by mistake Dana! I did once and still have shivers running down my spine! :)

Wow, that is quite large! I don't remember you mentioning jury duty; was it going at a snail's pace?
