The shell of the Carthusian snail (Monacha cartusiana) is a characteristic feature of this land snail from the Hygromiidae family. The Carthusian snail is originally native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean region. Due to climate change and human influences, it is increasingly spreading to Central Europe, especially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
