Slugs

[-MARWOLAETH-]

Iv read that slugs can be fed to garters but didn't say which species so i was wondering if anyone knew suitable slug species for garter snakes and how much could they be offered

I know there are toxic ones...I think some of them give off toxic slime from their skin...I think it's the brown ones, but that is all I know. I know that members on here know which one's are safe because we have had discussions about it before.

I would not offer slugs to my snakes - as with any wild collected food I would not be happy with the parasite risks. At any rate, there will be no reliable source for you to check the suitability of British slug species.

Thanks for clearing that up for me:)
