Does "small snail" mean smaller than the average snail, or does it simply point out that, in the great scheme of things, snails tend to be small?

> this one was really small, maybe just 1 cm for the little shell.
Usually our snails have a house of about 4 cm or larger ..
maybe she was just a baby still ?
We als have small and big ants, from 1 mm to almost 2 cm long ones ...
even in the world of small things, there are great differences when
one observes them every day
