Anguispira alabama

The Alabama tigersnail possesses a pale, convex shell with radiating brown stripes and a white, heavily ribbed carina. Its stripes are noted as being darker than those of its close relative, Anguispira cumberlandiana.^[2] The shell is typically 21.75-21.25 mm in diameter. It is pinched and thin, which allows the snail to burrow into cracks in limestone cliffs and boulders to presumably hibernate and seek shelter from the elements.^[3]

The Alabama tigersnail is found in eight counties in Alabama and Tennessee along the Cumberland Plateau.^[4][5] Like Anguispira cumberlandiana and Anguispira picta, it is a limestone specialist.^[3] Though studies on this species are limited, Alabama tigersnails have been mainly found on or around limestone cliffs, talus, and boulders in moist, dense, hardwood-dominant forests.^[1][5]
