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.
