Dear James,
 
The green is a tip-off; you probably have Allopeas gracile (Hutton, 1834),
the Graceful Awlsnail or a confamilial  (Subulinid) relative.  You will find
a list of NE Florida terrestrial snails (etc.) on the Jacksonville Shell
Club website.  There is about 80% concordance with your fauna.  Along with a
few related species, the Graceful Awlsnail (I use upper-case; revisionists
have push for "graceful awlsnail") is introduced, probably from subtropical
or tropical Asia.
