I'm not an expert or anything. But I've seen many West Indian Bulimulus ( they are very common here is south FL all over the walls.) I don't think the shape of yours quite matches. They tend to be more pointy and elongated than the one in your pic. So I'm not sure, that's why I didn't give you a formal suggestion.

This is a Succinea sp. like the ones at the top of this page: http://www.jaxshells.org/728aaa1.htm I'm not sure exactly which one, though I think the Saltmarsh one is out.
