The darker snail is a water snail found in rivers and streams(i am not sure it is edible) whilst the other one with patterns on it is a land snail that doesn't grow big thus it has no commercial value. The species you need for snail farming are either achatina achatina or achatina maginata. They are the ones that grows big and have commercial value.
