Are these not the most breathtakingly beautiful snails you've ever seen?? They're called Painted Snails or Cuban Land Snails (Polymita picta) and so they are appropriately found in Cuba. All of these stunning photos were taken by Flickr user Adrián González Guillén.
Just look at the wide variety of colors these guys' shells come in:

They are beautiful, but it seems the pretty paint would make it easier for predators to find them.
I'm assuming it's meant to be a warning signal that these guys don't taste too good or are poisonous though I'm not 100% sure! You know, much like caterpillars and other creatures do? :)
Awesome... they look like little ornaments
Also I haven't commented before but I thought I'd just mention that I really love your blog, it really cheers me up (I love nature) :)
