A mum was mortified to discover an army of snails slithering around her house after her son tried to save them from the rain.
Toni-Anne Lacey, 26, had been admiring her garden's snail population with five-year-old Rye Bowles when the inquisitive youngster noticed it starting to rain and asked to help them escape the water.
She happily handed him a tub to collect them but he then asked if they could sleep inside so they put a lid on them, before the schoolboy went off to bed.
