To not let DD back in her room tonight? Freaked out.... what is this?

[tastylancs]

DH just gone away for three days, otherwise he would talk me down I’m sure. But right now it’s just me and the DC and I’ve opened DDs room to discover this.... nest? Chrysalis? It’s about 5cm x 3cm. Help!

I'm dying to know what it is!

No clue here but i would poke it. Imagine if it is gone next time you look? I think that would really freak me out.

Poor thing, please don't harm it.

It has lost its way.

Take it to some thick vegetation outside.

Sweet potato strengthens their shells

Donuts, cooked or raw sweet potato?

Snails are awesome. These are our hand sized trio!

I need to know what it is...

Surely she wouldn't leave us hanging?....

@Mia184 raw sweet potatoes. They love it!

Hope she's charged that phone up..... or the ipad....

Oh my goodness, OP, my heart is in my mouth for you. Find something like a good long rowan twig or something similar. If it is an unearthly being an HB pencil and a set of rubber gloves isn't going to offer much protection.

donuts does that mean if u eat a snail u get a snail and potato snack? Like snail crisps?

Does your daughter pick her nose? I think it's just giant bogey.

This thread one for classics yet?

Donuts Thank you and they are gorgeous!

Is OP still alive?

we had one if these in our outside loo! I was scared shitless.
it turned out to be a snail with a garden of moss on his back!!

How long should we wait to hear from OP before we call 999? (Presuming that it has killed her)

Have you got a Henry?

Definitely a classic!

Oh yes it does look like a snail!

Wonder if it's sucked OP up like a hoover? S-L-U-R-P then B-U-R-RRR-P

When I win the lottery I am going to open a beautiful country pub called The Glass And Postcard .
