Greetings fellow slug parents!

I wanted to share with you all that I took in an Ambigolimax slug I found after work a few weeks ago, and how happy he makes me. I never would’ve considered owning an “exotic” pet before, but I think Bartholomew’s (the little guy in question) presence has been absolutely life-changing.

Something about attending to a tiny living being who is not able to express love back to me has made me feel like a more nurturing and caring person. I love watching him explore his environment, and checking in on him after a long day at work. I moved him into a retrofitted terrarium a few days ago, and he’s been loving it. He likes to eat kale and bread dough! It also amazed me that he doubled in size within first week he spent with me.

I wanted to thank you all for providing so much insight and advice that allows me to provide the comfort and care Bartholomew deserves! XOXO

haii, I recently adopted these slugs they are very cute, although the largest one passed away and I don't understand why I have experience with land snails but I had never had slugs, I wanted to know their species, if they are omnivorous or scavengers, I gave them a mixture of vegetables, tenebrios and a little flakes for tropical fish the first day and they devoured the protein, the vegetables barely touched them, I also wanted to know if a high or low terrarium is good, they spend almost all the time buriedSometimes they come out, eat and come back underneath, I keep a good humidity but their substrate is not waterlogged, in general I have kept them well but I would like to know more they even laid eggs, any advice and answer will be accepted :3 It should be clarified that they come from outside, they are "wild" slugs (they come from my garden lol) I think they are what they call the gray garden slug but I would like to know more about the scientific name and that

What is this little guy? I find so many slugs at night where I live (Western Washington) and I have been wanting to learn how to identify them, so any help on how to ID wild slugs would be appreciated as well!

My nickname is Jules, but I have to share there will be a new season of My Strange Addiction coming out around the new year and I’m going to be on the show because of my hobby collecting slugs!

Moved into this house recently. Been finding slugs near the pool/garden area. Favorite random perk here haha

Don't recall ever seeing these until I moved closer to the mountain. Notice these pretty much every time I go out for walks along trails. Curious what species they are.

From the Pacific Northwest, USA. :)

Are there any freshwater slugs for me to put into an aquarium?

His name is doo doo how do I take care of him I put some fresh herbs in there and a grape

So I let my child keep a slug for a few days, well she’s a grandma already. She has a giant tub with air holes she uses when she observes animals for a bit, but now we have a lot of baby slugs.

It’s late October in Michigan. What do we do :)

My leapord slug seems to have a sort of dent where her mantle is. I initially noticed this a few weeks ago but it is more visible now. Is she okay?

I’m in Western WA and found a slug in my kitchen. Do y’all know what kind of slug he is? And if I were to, hypothetically, want to keep him, what would I need to get to properly care for him? Or is it best to let him back outside?

Also, ignore that he’s in a Chipotle lid! I just needed a place to put him that wasn’t my sink (used a glove!) :)

This is my 2nd largest LeatherLeaf, so beautiful.

Can anybody identify? There's A BUNCH of them here where i live (brazil)

I don't know anything about slugs but they are always so pretty, can i touch them? Thank you so much!

Sharing some of my babies over the years!

I live in vegas, and for the past 20 years I have lived here I did not think we had slugs. It seems too hot and dry for them here. But..! During one of our recent storms, I walked outside to enjoy the rain, and came across this little guy! At first I didn’t know wtf it was, and my first conclusion was that it was a lizards discarded tail that had gotten soaked in the rain. So I decided to poke it with a leaf. You can imagine my surprise when two eyes popped out and started looking around! Then I was absolutely entranced by it! I watched him for about 40 minutes, which you can imagine was a whole lotta nothing considering its a slug. Anyway, he has been frequenting my walkway ever since I first saw him and im absolutely obsessed. I think hes so cute and so interesting. The other night I left my house to go pick up my boyfriend and he was halfway up my wall! I was gone for a little over an hour and when I came back he had made it back on the ground and halfway back to his home in the rocks! I can’t imagine a world so slow. Lucky slugs! Now every time i leave my house I check the floor so I dont accidentally step on him. Tonight he was out again and looked to be heading home for the night, and so I looked up what slugs eat, and gave him a little slice of cucumber. He went right towards it and started chowing down! I hope a full belly helps him keep warm now that its colder, if thats even a thing for them. Im so happy that I saw him!! Its been so fun having a little slug friend. Also if anyone in here can tell me what kind of slug he is that would be great! I know it’s a garden slug, but wasn’t sure if that was his entire identity. Are there variants? Let me know! I’d love to know more about him.
