Welcome!
Zonitoides limatulus, the Dull Gloss Snail, is an air-breathing gastropod found in a wide area of the United States, including several counties in Wisconsin.
Unfortunately, published research concerning this snail is scarce, and it is difficult to find a source with an abundance of information on this species. The purpose of my website is to provide a compilation of facts to help appreciate this little-known invertebrate. I’ve also included information describing similar species within the genus Zonitoides, as well as some general facts about land snails that may help with understanding this intriguing creature.
