Snail is a common name that is applied most often to land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs.
However, the common name "snail" is also applied to most of the members of the molluscan class Gastropoda that have a coiled shell that is large enough for the animal to retract completely into. When the word "snail" is used in this most general sense, it includes not just land snails but also thousands of species of sea snails and freshwater snails. Occasionally a few other molluscs that are not actually gastropods, such as the Monoplacophora, which superficially resemble small limpets, may also informally be referred to as "snails".

Michele, on this last evening before Contest finalization tomorrow...I am randomly visiting and making NEW favorites ...YOUR WORK IS TRULY EXQUISITE and I have been so blessed to visit your portfolio deeply. I have always been mesmerized by garden and wood snails...they carry the MAGIC of the sea...on their back...they glide on earth in the SEAfoam of their slippery mucosal excretion...they wear fairy-elfin antennae and HEAR the wisdom of the moss and lichen...MAGNIFICENT
