This snail belongs to Rhinocochlis moluensis (Godwin-Austen, 1891). Endemic species from Mulu area.

Thanks, @Lauren. I waited quite a bit for it to come out, but I guess she doesn't like my lights :( This was taken at night.

Very beautiful, you can see a tiny piece of his head sticking out.

Possibly Dyakia kintana, or near. See: http://www.seashellhub.com/Ariophantidae/Dyakiakintana2.JPG The snail is sinistral with a sharply carinate body whorl
