Re: Slugs
eeeeeeeewwwwwwww...
OK, I went out with my torch, a small plastic bucket and spade.... I collected loads of slugs from my garden... (the snails I found went for a sky ride...weeeeeeeeee into the field...) I plonked them on little dishes in the tanks and sat back and watched... Yes the snakes seemed interested, yes they tried, then they went dashing round the tank with their mouths open full of slug slime.... The slugs dissipated around the tanks.... There is slime everywhere.... on the fake plants, the houses, the glass, even like snot in the water dishes.... It has taken me about an hour to collect them all again and try and clean up the slime, ..... but the slime is like glue... it doesn't just rinse off...I tried using a scrubby sponge... that filled with slime and just spread it about.... Eeeeeeeewwwww yuk yuk yuk..will DEFINATELY NOT be doing that again!! |

Re: Slugs
For the record, I had been trying to offer slugs to my pallidulus garter for some time after first getting her, and she showed no interest at all. Repeated attempts failed.
Meanwhile, the slugs were occasionally escaping from the container where I was keeping them and making looooong straight lines across the floor in random directions.If you're interested, a big slug goes about 10 feet overnight  hehehe.Too bad there's no market for them; I could gather them by the dozens, day or night! |
