This is funny - take a look

rain..weeell it´s october and I´m in a usually soggy climate but , surprisingly it has not rained in a while ..
Yeah, if he IS afraid of heights, should I simply remove him from the wall and put him down in the front garden?

Nah, let him work it out. He'll be a better snail for it. "What ever doesn't kill you makes you stronger." 'Sides, he's wearing a helmet of sorts, so it seems he came prepared for what ever might happen.

In the interim, I suggest you contact Guinness Book, and see what the world's record is for a snail clinging to a second-story brick wall. You may have some sort of agent's fees coming your way,

A 'friend' once gave me a tab of acid while we were setting trusses, believing it would help to overcome my fear of heights. Not going to recommend anything so drastic with your peeping snail, not to mention wasting a good stash on the little feller, but that's up to you. I can attest that such a tact merely left me hugging trusses for a good 12 hours. But the snail and I may be sufficiently different for there to be vastly different outcomes.

...... should I simply remove him from the wall and put him down in the front garden?

I say its the right thing to do! Winter's almost here and he may need to bury himself to hibernate, if that's what snails do.

....... see, now you've gotten me emotionally involved, I care!

I still say you should take it a beverage. Or pray for rain, maybe.

no beer, it kills them. little old ladies put it in shallow dishes to keep snails off of tomato plants. they don't react very well to salt either...☠

very nice of you to help this familyout
I guess I´ll just take the little guy downstairs eventually. He still hasn´t moved at all.

just find a planter or unraked corner with leaves etc in it & tuck him down under the leaf litter. he'll be fine...

It´s come out and been moving! - Since last night it has changed position started going downwards.
And not just that he has lost his big house and now has a new, smaller one! and yes I´m sure it´s smaller and also the colours are slightly different. Didn´t know this is possible ??
Since I looked about half an hour ago it has moved further and further downwards. I mean everytime I looked, it had suddenly moved yet again! And I´m talking within a space of a few minutes. But he only does it when I´m not looking lol

Funny thing is, when I went back into the room about 10-15 min ago he had turned around and is now going upwards again

Whatcha smokin' Cuddles, I want some????

........ there must be more than 1 snail, both going up and down, maybe mating?

................ it's the only 'logical' explanation, lol

smoking - int he morning when I have lots of work to do ? I´m perfectly sober lol. I didn´t even have too much coffee today!

A second snail? nope, it´s just the one and after my last post I went into the room again and he was gone. He´s now moved round the corner and is on the outside wall. By now he´s come pretty far too

sounds like the migration is heating up...

 

[CosmicGiggle]

I wonder what he's up to today?

Probably sharpening its teeth.

 

[Cuddles]

I wonder what he's up to today?

well, yesterday he was still on the outside wall of the building, farther away from my window and higher up too. When I looked earlier he was just gone.
Wouldn´t surprise me if he´s hanging out on the roof top now. probably enjoying a nice spliff

 

[CosmicGiggle]

Gone? Now I'll always wonder, Where?

........ and most importantly, Why?

Had a pet mantis that lived on a jalapeno plant for months, neat as could be to check up on her and see her there every day.

 

[CosmicGiggle]

I have a pet chipmunk living in my basement and sometimes late at night in the Winter he gets into the kitchen and will leave a 'sign'.

........ lucky for him I LOVE CHIPMUNKS!

lol, maybe he thought I was one of those paparazzi guys when I took the last photo... or David Attenborough!

Speedy sprouted wings on the roof and flew away. That's why flying snails do not make good pets.

Sorry for your loss, Cuddles.

he's an angel now
