Brad found this little slug and fell in love. What sort is it? Is it ok to live with my aspersa?



Thanks

It looks like the Grey Garden Slug, Deroceras reticulatum



It should be ok to keep with aspersa I think?

Is that the slug you thought was a leopard slug Nat?? rofl ;D Thats nothing.. i was out feeding my wabbits last night and saw what i thought was a HUGE grey slug - was well impressed until i looked closer and it was a dried up pea pod that was out there for some reason lol

I did exactly the same thing outside my guinea pig hutch! It was a broad bean pod that had gone black!

It hasn't moved since Brad picked it up No he didn't squash it Why don't you think they should be kept, whats the difference between them any any wild caught snails

i mean little slugs, big slugs are ok but little slugs might dry out or you could not provide them with their natural food. wild snails are ok because we know that they eat plants and fruit.
