They are great photos. My snail didn't come out at all... I think its left home. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/22235157
Rachael's pics are great aren't they. She must have waited very patiently because Leuba's would reveal itself within 5 minutes. So we got bored and let it go.
Thanks Mark for the clue. It can only be that one; http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/10840170 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/22235157
