Vermetid snails
Have one that "burrowed" through a cap monti. Have scince found some others. What is the best way to get rid of them?? It closes its trapdoor and sucks into the burrow when I try to get to it. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Not sure how to get the borrowers... Superglue the trapdoor shut maybe?
With the small, non-burrowing variety I just break their tubes off with tweezers, making sure to get the base with it. Not much help in your situation I guess.
