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!

Can't wait to see results!

The thing is OP, if it is a snail it will walk around at night and disappear and then we might never know. So I think that you must investigate. Prise it up gently at one side, maybe with a ruler, and wear a rubber glove. Ick

Come on OP! What is it??

Well?!?!

Altogether now - Born Free! As Free as the wind blows...

Well we went in there and, mare of mares it had GONE. Leaving just a big twisty poo stuck to the wall. DD screamed, I was horrified, glued to the spot but frantically looking around. Discovered gigantic Gerald scooting along a beam at a great rate of knots.

He is now outside. I have left the Tupperware with him as a gift.

I thank you all my dear mn friends for talking me through this genuinely worrying time.

Noooooo it won’t let me post a photo!!! Apparently I’ve hit my limit of six per day!!!

OP has not returned

Anyone else SERIOUSLY worried.???

Please don't tell me its a feckin snail after all

Cross post she is back PHEW!!!

So it was a snail? 🐌

So was it a snail then?????????????????????

Eh? Gone where?

Tears streaming down my face with laughter at this thread!

I didn't look anything like a snail to me but glad you're ok OP.

You ought to NC to Ripley, OP.

So a Tupperware and piece of card jobbie?

Usually does the trick

Well looks like OP is stuck in the upside down forever more after being peer pressured advised to "poke it". Hope Winona Ryder's not busy, might need her help.....

Was that Gerald the snail or Gerald the cross dimensional hell beast?

OP, this is unacceptable!

What the fuck is Gerald? He scooted towards you? Snails don't scoot. Was he after you?

"He is now outside"

UNACCEPTABLE.

We need a blow by blow account.

What the fuck is that??!! 😯

We still do not know what it was?!

If the Upside Down did snails...

Yeah, actually I'm with chopsychology

More info please lancs

Do snails do actual poo?

Hoorayyyy! Gigantic Gerald!! Pleased he outside, now your dd can have her room back! Run free Gerald!

Whatever it was OP has now released it in the wild.

It could be coming after any of us.

After it's done breeding.

Looks like a ball of pubes thrown against the wall and its stuck!
