Chondropoma pictum is a species of an operculate land snail, terrestrial gastropod mollusk in the family Pomatiidae.[1]

Distribution

This species lives in Cuba,[2] for example at Bacunayagua.[1]

Ecology

Chondropoma pictum is a ground dwelling, rock dwelling and tree dwelling species.[1]

It has been observed behavior in the field, that Chondropoma pictum disturbed by humans has swung the shell forward as a defense mechanism avoiding attack by predators.[1]

Predators of Chondropoma pictum include larvae of firefly bug Alecton discoidalis.[1] On some occasions, the Chondropoma pictum emitted a protective foam which enabled them to thwart the attack.[1]
