Slug?

[sarahtisch]

Hi, everybody--I took in a slug the other day...named it "Slugzilla." Can anyone help me identify the type? Also--it lays a LOT of eggs--what's the best way to curb that?

Cute little guy! Looks like you've got a nice set-up for it too. Definitely looks like a Deroceras, thinking a Deroceras Invadens/Chestnut Slug but not positive.

Nothing you can really do about the eggs, just pick them up. If the slug's native to your area you can pop them outside or just freeze them and throw out, or if you have any other pets they might eat them. Not really any other way to deal with it.

Thanks for the response =]
Unfortunately, I gave it to my friend who just informed me that it died ='[

Really bummed about that.

I live in NY--do they usually live here?
