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!

God I’d love it to be a snail. DH back Friday afternoon. Bugger it he’s been gone less than an hour.

If it helps, this is a wasps nest - or the beginning of one. It was a little bigger than a golf ball. I know it was wasps as 'mum' hung around for about three days after I removed it.

Yours? Not a fucking clue, sorry!

Doesn’t look like a wasps nest, wasp nests are lighter in colour and look like they are made from cardboard 🤣

Looks more like a snail.

Just a now quite famous snail!

Whats a cramp ball???!!! Sounds painful So-what ya gonna do OP?

BEHOLD, CHTHULU!

Looks like a big snail.

Snails generally look like snails...

It’s a dusty snail!

Get a glass and a piece of card. Make sure your DC is recording you. Wearing thick protective clothing and a mask, pop the glass over the alien. Slide the card between the alien and the glass. Take the glass outside.
Fling it to the far side of faraway, and relax.
Get DC to upload recording.
Put link on here.

What kind of snails have you people seen?!

😂😂😂 At cthulu
(nothing useful to add though)

It’s just not snail shaped. Look again - diff angle. This is looking up at it. Heave.

We need more pics of it op

Good grief. That is grim

POKE IT!
POKE IT!
POKE IT!
POKE IT!

On closer inspection it is 100% a grandad snail

Definite snail. You can see where the Shell curls round!

Poke!

What kind of snails have you people seen?!

My son used to have Giant African Land snails, which looked like the one the OP has, but not as grotty.

DH is saying it's definitely a snail.

Google wasp and hornets nests-images look different colours some similar to yours. Please don't move it....

Fucking hell! How big is it?

Can't see the second pic (on a pc). In the first it did look like a snail with a deformed snail. It could be some sort of mould. It isn't a wasp nest.
