Awesome! I believe that is a leopard slug, can get up to 8 inchs long and has one of the most amazingly gross mating sessions for a creature. Too much discovery channel for me: Do you know about the mating habits of bed bugs Nothing is creepier than that!!! I learned from one of my favourite books ever! http://www.amazon.com/Six-Legged-Sex-Eroti...s/dp/1555912923 It is indeed a Leopard Slug http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limax_maximus -------------------- All the elders have fallen down...

I just read they could survive 3 years, including winters, It also eats, cat and dogfood. I think I am keeping it
and giving it a name. If anyone has a name for it... |

Here is a good guide to get you going http://petcaretips.net/leopard-slugs.html Maybe instead of snailajack or slugajack you could name him Jack, since it is easier to say -------------------- All the elders have fallen down...

Cool idea to keep the snail, Marc!
I can only think of three possible names: Arjen Duck Ben -------------------- |
