But seriously, folks... Roman snails, Burgundy snails, the edible snail, and escargot are ALL common names for Helix pomatia, the large (and edible) air-breathing land snail species that is frequently farmed for human consumption.
Found in Southeastern and Central Europe, Western Europe, Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, and Italy, they are SOwidely distributed that I have added a related link, listed below for your perusal. The link includes a map.

You can find snails in dark, damp and moist areas. You can also find them in rotting wood and under a pile of damp leaves.

they are born with it
Snails are classed as hermaphrodites They have both male and female reproductive organs.
Snails grow a shell that stays with them their entire life. They don't find larger ones as they grow.
Due to industrialization it becomes more difficult to find garden snails, but you can find them at riverbeds or ponds at countrysides. Another answer: in my experience, garden snails find you, and the problem is getting rid of them! Hostas and petunias seem to attract them.
If you call it "wild", you can find garden snails in your own front or back yard on a rainy day, or just after it rains!
