A mum found up to 30 snails slithering around on her kitchen counter after her five-year-old son tried to save them from the rain.
Toni-Anne Lacey, 26, had been admiring her garden's snail population with her son Rye Bowles when he noticed it had started to rain. Wales Online reports how the youngster asked if he could help them "escape the water" and she handed him a tub to collect them.
Rye asked asked his mum if they could sleep inside too so she put a lid on them before he went off to bed. Later that night, the mum-of-two switched on the light and discovered her kitchen had been taken over by dozens of slime-covered snails.
