Here's my slug. He's a Detritivore I believe. Hard to tell, since I'm asleep when he's active .

Thanks .

Don't tell them though, cause they are already Divas, and I don't want this publicity to go to their heads :p .

That is amazing.

I used to have pet snails when I was a kid. I find molluscs fascinating creatures.

Really? Is that a usual thing? Why do they do it?

Slugs... uh, no please, our garden is full o these:

5 inches slugs? God, we have those too, but they are rather slim, not like the one on your picture.

That is amazing.

Usually it's 2days, but lately it's been really warm and dry during the day, so they tend to "sleep" until it gets cooler, because they prefer it when it's humid and cool . They're usually extremely active, but the weather should be cooling down, come the weekend, so they will be more active again .

@Nick, Well, it's not that bad, cause mine aren't like normal slugs found outside of the tropics. They eat mostly things that are on their way to decaying and apples :p . , so not really a threat to a garden, but more of a fertilizer, like the earthworm and pill bug. They all get rid of decaying matter and fertilize the soil with their waste :p . They're called Detritivores . The one's you have are probably regular Herbivores, so they eat practically all plant matter (although we have those too, like the Great Slug ) .

@Matty, That's so cool. I trapped a rat once, but he got away, so I gave up on it . I think I might buy a mouse, but no time soon, cause I already got my hands full with Reptiles/Amphibians/Mollusca(Mollusks)/Insects and my Music ;p.

@Wombat, Hooray, I'm not the only one . Maybe you should start up again .
