This article is an excerpt from Dan Dourson's latest book, "Biodiversity of the Maya Mountains with a focus on the Bladen Nature Reserve, Belize, Central America." The book also contains a comprehensive section on common and newly discovered land snails, some never before photographed. He is currently working on "Land Snails of Belize," which will hopefully be published sometime in 2013. This manuscript will be fully illustrated and contain more than 30 undetermined species, many of which are likely new to science. Dan is the resident biologist at the Belize Foundation for Research and Environmental Education.
