Snail on kitchen celling

[Eddi]

There is an enormous snail stuck to my kitchen's ceiling

What should I do about it?

It has been there for I think four days now

Define enormous.

Is it alive?

Define enormous.

Is it alive?

It's much bigger than a regular snail it is perhaps 3 inches long

And it has been in the same place for a few days now so it could very well be dead

Stand on a chair and pull it off, take it outside and place it in some greenary

Ramp cloth will wipe off any marks its made.

That is enormous.

Poke it with something.

Knock it down, take it outside if living, garbage if dead.

Stand on a chair and pull it off,

None of my chairs could take my weight but I could ask my petite neighbour to have a go!

I will put it somewhere outside regardless of whether it is living or dead

@JustGeorge has suggested poking it, try knocking it off with a brush handle. If it's dead it will probably fall right off when knocked. If it's alive it will probably slide a bit first before it looses contact with the ceiling.

Or leave it there as a conversation piece ;-)

I think I will just let it be

If it's dead it's dead

And if it's alive then it must be happy where it is as it hasn't moved

My only worry is that it might fall off

If it does, sweep it up and toss it outside.

Update: someone helped my do a big clean in my kitchen and when doing so they disposed of the snail

I'd even named him, I called him Simon

But he's gone now
