Arion fuscus/subfuscus

These guys are all over the woods where my parents live, so I had my mom send me some. Their mucus is orange and sticky and stains your fingers. They sure are cute, though! There's two babies and two adults. I'm hoping to get some babies from them soon. Here's a picture of the adults.



And one of the babies.



That was the day I got them. They've all been eating so much that they've grown a lot, and the biggest one is all obese! They're all very active, hungry and curious little slugs.

Orange slugs are very common in my area. Great photos!

Arions are so cute! They grew on me last year, with their expressive little faces and gentle personalities. It's hard to tell the bigger Arion species apart but orange slime is a good marker. The only downside with Arions is that their slime is indeed super thick. And the gland at the tip of the tail collects gunk!
