Description

This snail has a golden-tan coloration, specially adapted mouthparts, and sensitive chemical receptors. It hunts and feeds in the same fashion as its larger congener, the rosy wolf snail, Euglandina rosea .

Euglandina singleyana is typically found in West Texas. It prefers areas of prairie and forest, under substrate of dead wood.
