Florida applesnails (Pomacea paludosa). This species is the largest freshwater gastropod native to North America. The indigenous distribution of this snail is central and southern Florida, Cuba and Hispaniola. They’re a tropical species, and can survive in water bodies that dry out during the dry season. They have both gills and lungs.

I found them in a pond behind Nick’s dad’s apartment. The largest one’s body is at least 3" when fully extended. I really hope they last in the setup I have, I’ve read up about their care for days… I just adore them ;u; Last photo is just a random small snail found after a rain.
