Facts

The Daedalochila chisosensis can also be searched under the name of Polygyridae chisosensis (ZipcodeZoo.com, 2012).

Most snails do not have the ability to hear (Information and facts about Snails, 2012).  Due to this lack of hearing, snails rely heavily on their sense of touch (Information and facts about Snails, 2012).

Snails mate many different times throughout the year, laying about 100 eggs at a time (Information and facts about Snails, 2012)!

The average life span of a snail is 15 years old, however due to the heavy predation they usually do not live very long (Information and facts about Snails, 2012).

The Chisos liptooth has an average of 5 whorls on its shell (Pilsbry, 1940).

The shell diameter is about 12.4mm and has a height of about 5.3mm (Pilsbry, 1940).

The upper part of the shell is rather smooth and shiny (Pilsbry, 1940).
