I did research before i posted this question and i researched every snail that i know of and this one doesnt look like any of them. It literally looks like a Brown and gold candycane or barbers pole. Each color is clearly seperated.

may be an auger or a bittium species. there are also Turbonilles that look somewhat similar. check google images for those and you might come up with something.
