Re: no eating,

Some Thamnophis species and subspecies eat slugs more readily than others, and they're part of the diet of many wild Thamnophis subspecies. My garters just turn their noses up at slugs, but it doesn't hurt to offer them. I've read that slugs are high in calcium, which is a good thing. It must be intra-muscular calcium since they don't have bones.

Also, good decision on the hygrometer. They're cheap, and you can use the same one on multiple terraria.
