I'm not sure as I've never seen them in person, but they might be a mostly noctural species, seeking out shelter during the middle of the day.

Thank! I'm glad I found him! His name is(drumroll please!) Leatherleaf! And I already have a cool story about him! So because he's in a temporary house he escaped (!) and was napping right outside of it! That just made me laugh.

Never mind I just found him. He was very dry but is fine now. He's in a new house now that is escape proof so hopefully I can get him into his tank soon!

He was but now he can't in his new house. I'm going to make him a nice habtat in a empty 5 gallon. He is a very silly slug!
