Habitat
This species of snail has been spotted any where from the southern
part of Canada to the Gulf States and west to eastern
Nebraska and Oklahoma. However, the majority of the sightings
though have been spotted in 
Missouri and in
the Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia border lands. Land
snails prefer areas that are moist and shady for example, under
rocks, logs, and leaf piles. Shade and moisture are important to
snails because drying out is their primary threat. Land snails seem to prefer habitat rich in
calcium. One such habitat would include dogwood trees (McGlone, 2007).
The leaves and berries of this tree are higher in calcium
content then other trees that can be found in a snail's habitat
(McGlone, 2007).
