Land Snails, Slugs and Freshwater Snails	The terrestrial environment is home to a vast array of snails and slugs. Many native land snails and slugs live in the moist layers of litter on the forest floor and other moist habitats such as rotting logs, under rocks or beneath debris. In eastern Australia, they are particularly diverse in rainforest areas. The freshwater environment also hosts a variety of snails.	Molluscs Gastropods Land snails
