That's not exactly what I mean. I mean, he only eats slugs. Turns his nose up at earthworms even. Never met a northwestern that didn't like worms. I have to go outside and root around and collect slugs nearly every day, rain or shine. You can't just buy those like I do with night crawlers. Every once in a while I can trick him into eating a pinky but I still have to have a slug on hand to scent it. When it was warm and dry, slugs are hard to find so I had to keep a shady area of my yard watered constantly and make hiding places for slugs.

I guess I should have said he's a PITA to supply. The feeding goes fine, it's the supplying slugs that's the hassle.

I am so happy that I can basically have my slugs year round. I think from late March into early November, I can find them outside, then I have to keep my slug colony; which isn't difficult as long as I don't forget about them in the fridge downstairs

Just checked the other day and I still have quiite a supply! Keeps my Dekayi (Connor Snake) happy when he's not eating worms.

Actually, looking forward to starting up the slug hunting again!
