Just looked in the tank where the 2 new unidentifieds are, and saw a tiny little slug! he is so small i don't know if I can get a good picture. he is brown with a black stripe. Just happened to look at one of the snails and saw he had grown another head, looked closer and there he was! he must have come in the leaves that were in the tub that the new ones arrived in as I put some of them in the tank. he's adorable!

Since the slug is so small its hard to tell what it is, It may be a Deroceras reticulatum, Netted Slug, or Limax flavus, Yellow Garden Slug.

*chuckles* His head is on the right. He has that little patch on his back under the skin which I think is where they have a very thin internal shell? Thats what i read anyway. he seems to be just a common garden slug, but i will keep him inside until it warms up. He is kinda cute
