Chestnut Bark Snail (Edouardia spadicea) by Bushboy

Confidence: It's likely to be this, but I can't be certain.

Notes: Too large for Common Bark (Edouardia natalensis), the uniform dark brown colour and especially the width being almost as great as the length and the wide umbillicus point to E. spadicea, a common species along the east coast (Herbert & Kilburn, 2004 p117)
