Polygyridae contains a wide variety of land snails throughout North America. In general they live in a vast array of habitats, excluding some Rocky Mountain States. Geography does not appear to be an issue as they also inhabit regions near water and far above sea level. (Auffenerg and Stange 1989). Polygyridae are able to inhabit such a wide variety of habitats for a few reasons. According to Snail-World (2013), they are able to easily conform to new food sources, as they will eat the majority of the vegetation that surrounds them. They also have the ability to hibernate through harsh times such as, extreme heat, cold, and periods of drought (Snail-World 2013). If you're searching for Polygyridae, your best chance at finding them will be on somewhat cool and cloudy days (Snail-World, 2013). They will be more common around areas with more vegetation, however they can survive in desert areas by tucking themselves away in their shells if they need to conserve water (BioExpidition 2013).
