White Garden Snail, Theba pisana (Mueller) (Gastropoda: Helicidae) by Jane E. Deisler, Lionel A. Stange

“…This snail can survive long and arduous journeys because of its ability to form a wall of dried mucus, called an epiphragm, in the aperture of its shell which reduces water loss during dormancy. Theba pisana is capable of explosive reproductive rates where it has been introduced, and can be found in densities of up to 3000 snails per tree (Mead 1971) after periods of less than 5 years (Chace 1915, Orcutt 1919). …”
