Snails

I am catching lots of these snails in my greenhouse, double figures every day. This one is about ¾" (18mm) long, which is nearly the biggest I've found. I don't know if they are an immature version of a normal snail but they look more like the sort I find in the pond. I like the clear bit at the front of the shell, presumably to see out before sticking head out. Anybody seen these before?

These look quite like a Giant African Land Snails from the shape of their shells :? I do hope not.

Done a bit more research - this looks a possibility.
