Obviously it laid eggs....

This article made me think of this: ... my very first picture on the blog...

Dear God! They're attacking from the drainage ditches!

"Five pound snail emerges from Bayou Blue pond."

"From a distance, it looked like a football-like object hanging from a shrub near the pond’s edge. Once she got closer, Arnold realized that what was hanging from the branch was one of the snails she purchased three years ago.

"It was gigantic," she said. "I thought it was a wasp’s nest when I saw it.""

( Toni Arnold of Bayou Blue snapped a shot of Moses the 5-pound snail as it hung from a shrub in her pond Tuesday.)"

I don't think squashing them with your shoes will work...
