    The "goo" is the slime coming off of the earthworms as they're being swallowed. My old T.s.pareitalis I had used to spend several minutes trying to wipe that off all over her cage....made an awful mess of the glass. LOL

    The "goo" is a slime that earthworms secrete as a defense. Some animals don't like the taste and will stop the attack on them. Come to think of it, it's kinda the same as a snake musting a predator. But I've never seen a snake not eat a worm becouse of it
