Slugs

[Stefan-A]

Has anybody tried feeding their garters slugs?

I'm especially interested in testing Limax cinereoniger and Arion lusitanicus (Spanish slug), but I'd like to hear what other people think about the idea.

I've tried with my T. s sirtalis and they showed no interest at all. I have heard of others having success.

I have used slugs on several occasions, I'd have to look up the scientific name of the one they seem to like best...it's the little fawn/beige one. I've fed them to several species, but ordinoides were the most willing in my experience.

I'm not up on my slug species
but I did try feeding slugs to my garters and they were small brown slugs (ca 1.5" long found in the evening on a Halloween pumpkin)
none of my snakes (T. e. vagrans and T. s. parietalis) were interested
they're bigger now though
I wonder whether that makes a difference

I used ot feed my wandering slugs by the dozen!

My ordinoides seem to like slugs the girl more then the boys

I really hate slugs, (partly because they are eating my veg in the garden quicker than I can ) so I have no qualms about killing them!

can I wash them first so that they don't slime up my tanks?
Are any slugs poisonus? (so I don't get it totally wrong!)
Can you freeze them?

Every Halloween
there are hundreds
of slugs crawling all
over the pumpkins
outside. The snakes
never seem to be
interested.
This year,
I hope the snakes
are interested.
We got several
new snakes since
last Halloween
so surely one of
them will eat slugs.

Well anyway...
We'll try again next year
and I'll tell you whether
the snakes eat them or
not.

Some of my snakes love slugs, while others ignore them.

SHRUG...
