''Bradybaena similaris'', common name the Asian trampsnail, is a species of small, air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Bradybaenidae. It earned the common name based on its origins, and its habit of roosting on freight containers . This habit means that this may be one of the most broadly-distributed species of terrestrial snail in the world. ''Bradybaena similaris'' is the type species of the genus ''Bradybaena''. ==Distribution== This species is native to Southeast Asia, but it has been accidentally introduced to many areas around the world. The distribution includes: * Pratas Islands, Taiwan〔Wu S.-P., Hwang C.-C., Huang H.-M., Chang H.-W., Lin Y.-S. & Lee P.-F. (2007).
