Re: New food item

yes my garters have eaten slugs, the beigh ones b4 , butsometiems they will excrete soo much slime the graters will toos it up and skitz out in to ther den or something. io tried the caned snails and theywouldnt take them,my male eastern likes when i pull out the tongs so i would give him a few chunks of worms then fter like 3 i would slip in some slugs some of them he would spit out and some of them he would eat. besides that the snails in a can never had to much succes, but fresh slugs i find outside seem to gety eaten occasionaly .
as a defense the slugs will stiffen all up and become rather thick making it impossible for yoursnake to eat it but if you grab some small guys , mostly the tanish beigh colored ones they usualy work well.
