Habitat

Like most land snails, the Strobilops aeneus tends to be found in leaf litter and woody debris. (Fretter, 1968) (WI department of natural resources 2009) More specifically, the Bronze Pinecone has been known to reside in areas of flat, dry.  Some are also usually found on logs and moss and leaf litter. (Hotopp, 2005) Land snails have not evolved the structural or physiological ways of water loss from their bodies so they rely on the humidity of the environment in most cases, which is seen within the Strobilops. (Evans, 1972) Its dark shell helps it to blend in with its environment.
