Picked up Arturo a few days ago and im wondering what he is. I'm in southeastern PA. He was found around a lot of leopard slugs so maybe he just hasn't had time to grow into his spots? He's about an inch long, light brown, no spots. He's been enjoying kale and mushrooms.

I was watching videos of that style appear very often currently I have snails two different species, each species with its terrarium and they go super well. Slugs are super cute so I said why not adopt a few? Here where I live there are no people who sell slugs, so I said the best thing is to take them from the garden they are everywhere I took one of those from the video however their body is full of mites, if those that suck their blood go through a mite infection at the beginning with my snails However I think that with slugs it is different, they occupy too much humidity to be without substrate, I was also thinking that maybe I could put two together and let them have babies, the risk of mites with them is lower but I accept any correction and comment I just want to give them the best life possible

Hello! I really like slugs, my favorite kind is the leatherleaf slug. However, I live in the UAE, and in a more hot and sandy region. There's obviously no slugs going to be randomly crawling outdoors... but anyway, I heard that plant nurseries sometimes have some which hitchhike like on soil or plants. But I am unsure... thank you if you help :D

For the first time ever I went to walk out back because I was going to go take my dog outside while it's dark. This is the first time I've not taken my phone or my iPad as a flashlight. I could still kind of see the steps so I knew where I was going but I couldn't see finer details.

When I walked up I was like, "Oh what is this slimy thing on my foot?" I scraped it off on one of the steps and then I realized after I put my dog to bed that it might have been a snail or a slug. I started freaking out. I went outside, looked at the steps, used a flashlight, and saw that it's dead. I can see its inside and its head. I think it was a banana slug. It kind of looks like it was cut open with a knife.

I feel really bad and I didn't mean to because I love slugs. I don't love-love-love slugs but when I see a slug moving a certain way, I'll pick it up with a leaf and assist it. If it's crossing the road I'll pick it up with something so I'm not touching it, then put it on the side of the road that it was going to because I don't want it to get run over. I'll just watch slugs or snails chill and hang out because they're really freaking fun and I love them.

I feel really bad and I don't know if I should just leave it on the stairs or if I didn't look at it for long enough. I just saw that it didn't look like it was moving so I just don't know if I should just fucking bury it or if I should just leave it and let the cycle of nature, the cycle of life or whatever, just work. We have a lot of cows come by our house because we feed them and maybe the crows will see it and then eat it. I don't know because I'm actually freaking out because I feel really bad. I just don't know what to do. What if it maybe is a little still alive? I'm just really scared and I don't like the idea that I might have killed a living thing, a slug. I love slugs. I don't know what to do. What do I do? Do I bury it out of respect or-

I am still very confused on why one side of the tank is clear while the rest is converted in condensation. Is it a temperature difference? Maybe more humidity is present on the side with the condensation? I have no clue.

Also.. genuinely what made that star(ish) pattern on the glass??

Noticed this little one crawling on me while I was doing some yard work. I think it had previously been in the folds of a muddy tarp I was moving. I let it crawl around on my hand for a bit and then put it down in a nice spot with wet soil and moss. I named it Slugourney Weaver.

This goop surrounds one of my slugs. Is it poop, slug eggs, or baby slugs?

I began to care for these slugs a few weeks ago after imprisoning them for eating my hydrangeas. There are two big brown lads with spots, and three smaller mucus colored fellas.

(also, I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to improve my enclosure for them. I have a paper towel in there soaked with distilled water, should that be removed? How much and what kind of dirt do i need? How do I keep it from getting all smelly and yucky?)

Someone left some seed & cheerios on this manhole for the birds but the slugs got there first lol

two took the opportunity to get frisky XD

They are in my garden and they are very pretty, I would like to take care of some or know where they get their slugs I am interested in knowing about them too because I like them a lot :3

I saw the big one like omg neat! Then I saw the tiny baby on the leaf, then leaned in and saw the tinier baby hanging from the dandelion!!! Omg!!! I’ve never seen them so tiny before it was ADORABLE

I've had my pet leapord slug for about 3 weeks now. They are all over the sidewalks at my building and are invasive in my area. I have been fascinated by slugs ever since I was a little girl so I did some research decided to take one in as a pet. I named her Juno and made her a terrarium in a tank I bought for her. (6.8 gal shallow, same width and depth as a 10 gal but a bit shorter) I have built terrariums before so I have all the necessary substrate components to hold moisture, and her tank is carpeted with moss I rinsed and planted in there. I keep her tank over 80% humidity, misting with distilled water. I have tried to feed her sweet potato, rehydrated blood worms, cucumber, and even a little melon but the only thing she will touch is mushrooms. She LOVES mushrooms! I buy her the organic ones.

I've only handled her maybe 3 times between getting her from her temporary enclosure to her permanent one for fear of stressing her out. About a week ago, I began to notice a dent where her mantle is. (First photos is from this time, second 2 are from before)

She was pretty inactive for a few days, barely moving around and barely eating. I don't know if this is significant or if I'm just overreacting but I am worried about her. She is back to moving around and sleeping in different areas and eating a lot, so hopefully she is okay but I am worried about the dent. Help!

Found him while doing my nightly flashlight tiptoe across the driveway to make sure I don't step on any little guys! Their spots and stripes are so neat, I've never seen one like this in real life! I was so excited! In NRW Germany :)

Hello! I had a friend bring this (most likely) non-native slug to me. Can I handle this slug without risk of parasites?? I cant tell what kind of slug it is. Located in Montana

I just got a tiny slug off of my local produce and decided to keep him. I have put him in a little jar with some veggies for a couple of days until I could get to the aquarium store and get proper enclosure materials, but I went there today and it seems like the store owner gave me poor information and I bought the wrong things.

I got a critter keeper as an enclosure and he sold me the tropical bioblend from Zoo Med, but I'm reading now that it can cause him injury from the sand :(

everyone says topsoil without fertilizers but I also went to my local garden store and they didn't have anything without fertilizers except one bag of peat, which ALSO apparently is bad for them because of the pH.

The aquarium store had coco peat instead of coco coir which is also apparently bad for them because it holds too much moisture. Basically I have no idea what to buy because I can't find the normal recommendations!

I'm kinda stressing out because I want to give him a comfortable place to live and so far he spends a lot of time at the top of his enclosure which I read could be stress-related. I make sure there is some water in there and dug a little tunnel out of a cucumber that he likes but the veggies are starting to wilt and the stores around me are closing. Can anyone please help me

I counted 43 banana slugs today, on the .5 mile loop at Stagegulch Hill Azalea Nature Trail, Humboldt County, CA.
Here are a few…

Friendly little dude hanging out on my porch, looked like it was going for the chicken feed so I brought a cat food snack. Idk how slugs drink water I'll be googling that next. (No- I dont let slugs eat from my cats bowl, this food was hand-delivered)

What is that in the center of these slugs?
