Sadly this link only has pictures for a certain amount of species, but this works for more well-known species. https://www.inaturalist.org/guides/5288

I have no idea why the actual species list is sideways. I’m so sorry.

CALIFORNIA * This link only lists the PEST species, but gives a nice amount of information about the few species shown. https://ucanr.edu/sites/CalSnailsandSlugs/Californias_Pest_Snails_and_Slugs/ This website provides pictures as well as information for each species! (iNaturalist is a good resource regardless of your location.) https://www.inaturalist.org/check_lists/221732-Land-Snails-and-Slugs-of-California FLORIDA * Some slugs that may be found in Florida (there’s a ‘page two’ button at the bottom of the last picture that may be hard to see.) It’s a decent sized list with pictures. http://jaxshells.org/728aaa.htm This is a good article showing a large diversity of Florida slugs. Written from an agricultural standpoint. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in891 This page is very useful, it mostly focuses on species that have the potential to threaten Florida’s crops / agriculture. The top gives general information about snails. Towards the bottom it gives detailed information about various Florida species. http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/misc/gastro/terrestrial_snails.htm

A list of slug species can be found halfway through the document;http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/misc/gastro/slugs_of_florida.htm A dichotomous key for aquatic freshwater snails of florida; https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/iz/resources/florida-snails/ GEORGIA * https://digitalcommons.gaacademy.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1917&context=gjs I’m unsure of if this list details snails that may be found in Georgia or if it lists snails in the museum’s collection.
