You wouldn't expect to find snails in the arid mountains of west Texas, but some of the rarest species be found here, where localized precipitation supports hidden refuges.  Some stay underground, waiting months--if not years--for rain to come. Submit your snail finds to iNaturalist at http://www.inaturalist.org/projects/terrestrial-mollusks-of-texas
