Due to its rarity and the difficulty of locating new populations, the species is listed as vulnerable in both states.

[1] The Alabama tigersnail possesses a pale, convex shell with radiating brown stripes and a white, heavily ribbed carina.

Its stripes are noted as being darker than those of its close relative, Anguispira cumberlandiana.

It is pinched and thin, which allows the snail to burrow into cracks in limestone cliffs and boulders to presumably hibernate and seek shelter from the elements.

[3] Though studies on this species are limited, Alabama tigersnails have been mainly found on or around limestone cliffs, talus, and boulders in moist, dense, hardwood-dominant forests.
