I find them in the morning around the bowl of kibble I leave for wandering cats. Like that or bigger.

I'm sure it's only an accident that you feed the slugs. :)

I just fed 5 of them a pinch of salt.

LOL!

If you lived around here, she might be bringing in bright yellow banana slugs - they get up to 10" long. (Pretty, but the slime is practically impossible to wash off)

[trickofthedark]

10"? Aaaaaaaaagh! Luckily leaf slug slime seems to right up with a wet washcloth. Here'a slime picture:

A little dish soap and a *lot* of water...

And yours only get to 10" :-)

Seriously, years back a friend who was out of work was "camping" out in Forest Park. And woke one morning because something heavy was on his chest.

He swears the pair of banana slugs that were crawling over the tarp he was sleeping under were a foot long and several pounds each. ...

Cool! I get leopard slugs, which are 50% gross and 50% gorgeously spotty. Your guy there looks like he's wearing a sci fi suit of armour.

[trickofthedark]

Yes, exactly. I can't decide if it's really cool or really gross.

[iibnf]

My philosophy is that you'll be happier if you decide it's cool.

Good plan. I <3 Molluscs! I <3 Molluscs! I <3 Molluscs!

That's not a small slug there. You are very loved!

[trickofthedark]

Yeah, and I have to tell her she's a good kitty. It makes no sense for me to discourage her in any way, because I do want her to end up a good mouser.
