Predation
Young Helix pomatia are preyed upon by birds, insects, toads and mice. Snail eggs can also be predated by newly-hatched snails. Secreted slime, although not poisonous or unpalatable, often deters predation.
Known Predators:
- Humans, frogs, parasitic nematodes, ground beetles, hedgehogs, slow worms, centipedes
