also since I've put him in he hasn't moved at all. this is the largest "pond snail" I've ever seen. i put a couple other smaller ones in as well and i never see them come out. how do i know if they are still alive?

Might be a chinese mystery snail. How long has it been in the tank? Give it a day or 2 to move, if it is dead it will soon become obvious.

I dont think you found a pond snail your snail looks to be Viviparis malleatus, common name trapdoor.
maybe Newt can read this thread and give you a better view on your new snail.

i only called him a pond snail....well because he was in a pond lol. i have no idea about snails. although he is moving now and on the glass. anything i should know about these guys?

aren't Chinese mystery snails the same as Japanese trap door snails?

how the heck did a Japanese snail get in a little pond in the middle of nowhere. crazy how things happen

It could also be a Campeloma species; however, being from a pond it is most likely Cipangopaludina.
