Slugs

[infernalis]

Well just for fun, I offered a few garters slugs last night.

The ordinoids ignored slugs entirely, Never responded.

Lurch the Butlers, he went nuts, tried like hell to eat it, but it just kept slipping out of his mouth. So I gave it to a Dekayi, and gave all the garters some tilapia.

I offered slugs to the garters once. Mrs. Mordecai tried to eat one, got slimed, and spent the next 45 minutes rubbing the slime off. So I never tried again!! She acted soooooo disgusted!!

I have a few Radixs that will eat slugs but it's been a learning experience for them. If it were a larger slug and they grabbed it by the head. The slug would pull into a ball and slime them. It would just slide out of their mouth. So they grab them from the back and down they go.
I have others that give one try and that's enough. They refused to eat them after they've been slimed.

I learned early on that garters usually don't take well to being slimed. I tried it with Dojo, my first one. She was not impressed.

I have had wanderings pound slugs like they are going out of style....I guess they have access to more of them due to their habits of not being near ponds and streams, may have longer teeth to hold them????

Possibly don... cause let me tell you.... The wandering garters are the beasts of the garter snake world IMO.... Ever since I got these hypermels I have learned that wanderings DO NOT MESS AROUND. They will bite at me through the glass in I just wave my hand in front of them. When it's feeding time, they zip around like wild crazy snakes and will bite ANYTHING, the plant, pieces of mulch.... their cagemates... me... emtpy tongs.... they REALLY REALLY like to eat. More that any of the other garters!!!!

LOL!!!!! wish some of my others would be that ravenous at feeding time...

my little holdback female decided she is done eating for a bit....probably gonna have to put in brumation for a couple weeks..

haha seriously they act like they are on crack anytime I go near the cage. All the other garters are calm and collected but all the wanderings are slowly carving through the glass wih their teeth. one day I think they plan to escape and eat ME!!!!

I am going to have to videotape their insanity!

[ssssnakeluvr]

lol!!! cool...I want to see the videos.....will show them to mine so they can see how they are supposed to act!!!!
