Beth has taken this picture of Leopard Slugs mating, the slugs were about 4ft up a willow tree, neither slug was very big. The slime thread was about 8inches. Being as they require some height, breeding these slugs in captivity would be very difficult I would think.  |

Do you want me to sit in the corner and rust, or just fall apart where I'm standing?

One of those slugs is much bigger than the other, its a wonder they can mate at all.

I think it looks like one of them is half the size,but if you look closely you see that their backends are entangled too.
