Your link isn't working. If you get a medication be very carefull. A lot of medications can harm snails. (Look out for ones containing copper) You may want to go to applesnail.net and see if they have anything that sounds similar to what yours has. It would probably be your best bet.
::Your photo didn't show up. Is he moving at all? Is he floating? What did you treat him with? He is definatly sick. I can't say for sure what he is, but my suspicion would be a type of apple snail. I don't know of too many other types of fresh water snails that get that large.

:::Hello, my snail has been getting this icky gooey slime all over it, and he is not moving around like he has before, I did put him in a tank that had been treated with a fungus med., I am not sure what kind he is, but he's about the size of a golf ball now, and is brownish orange color. Is he sick ?

:Hi ! He is stuck to the side of the tank so yes, he is alive, I havent treated it with anything, dont know what to get. I have a photo of him at picturetrail in my online albums, I tried to link to it, but it didnt work (duh), he is in my animal album there. I will try to put on my album link.
