Real-world information[edit]
Helix pomatia, also known as the edible snail orescargot (French for "snail"), is a species of snail that is sometimes farmed for eating. It is found throughout Europe, but was introduced to Britain by the Romans. Because of this, it is also commonly called theRoman snail.
The shell is creamy white to light brownish, often with indistinct brown color bands, and it has five to six whorls. The width of the shell is 30–50 mm and it's height is 30–45 mm. With these specifications, it is one of Europe's biggest species of land snail.
