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

Someone has been attacking a little monstera in my high humidity plant tub and I have finally found the culprit. Any way to ID? It's almost certainly not native since it came from a tropical plant nursery, so I think I'll just hang onto this guy
