My money is on a blue maxima. Though crocea is in the cards still. Any chance you could get clearer pictures of the shell?

the second pic looks like blue maxima to me, but the first one looks like a crocea.

Its max or squammy. Its hard to tell unless you can provide a pic of its shell. I wouldn't bother it for any additional pics. A positive ID at this point is going to be very difficult. Let it grow some more and then post a pic in a month or two.
