What is a worm with a shell?

Answer by  Binome (1975)

If the shell is a segmented chitinous exterior, you're probably looking at a centipede or millipede. If the shell is a lump on it's back, it's a snail. If you're in Florida, it's almost certainly a millipede. Millipedes are slow and only eat plant matter, so they can't hurt you. Snails can't either. Centipedes have venom and sometimes bite, though.

What you are seeing is not a worm with a shell. It is probably a snail. If you research pictures of snails and narrow down the search by the area in which you live you can determine what type of snails you have in your yard.
