Slugs

[KITKAT]

Some of my snakes love slugs, while others ignore them.

SHRUG...

I haven't noticed any slugs on our vegi garden yet ... No free food for me.

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!!

Try a mixture of salt and vinegar to clean the slime off.

It should. Let us know. And if you have any left, sprinkle it over some chips and send them to me!
