All creatures great and small.

It's been raining here today (actually, it's been raining a lot this spring) and the rain always brings all sorts of critters. Today, my parents' carport was covered in baby slugs and since I have an f-list full of geeks (don't get the wrong idea - I say that very proudly! :p), I thought some of you might wanna see what a baby slug looks like.

You need to do an interview with a slug-based magazine in order to clear up any misunderstanding. *wink*

Maybe some sort of rehab would help your image a little, too, while you're at it.

What are you saying?? I don't have a problem! I can quit anytime. I don't need no stinkin' rehab.

But wait, what did you do to the slugs to incur their anger in the first place? Is there some Slug Incident that you're not reporting?

ugh... slugs! badtyler May 25 2007, 01:52:20 UTC

I'm tellin' ya... keep those critters out of your garden!
{{shudders}}
When the slugs in your neck of the woods reach adult size, are they brown or black? The ones in NY were brown, but I saw some in Washington state that were so shiny and black, they looked like plastic kid's toys. Then I saw one move... ugh.

Does Harold live indoors or out? I'm beginning to think one of his cousins might be quite welcome here in this somewhat bug-infested neighborhood! He looks very happy and healthy, congrats!

Don't worry. These are no where near my garden. :)

Umm, the slugs here are mostly brown, although I've seen some black ones before. They're creepy looking, but also cool...in a creepy way.

Harold is a mostly indoor plant, but I do put him outside to get a little sun once in a while. You should definitely get one. He's very low maintenance and, according to the directions, doesn't even need to be re-potted. :)

Cool!
Sounds like my kind of pest control-- thanks.
Yeah-- the shiny black ones look cool, except when they are in ur garden eating ur lettuce...

Oh my gosh, you should totally fill the courtyard with Harolds. Maybe one will take a bite out of Laundry Bitch.

Eww ... slugs get all big and slimy and oozy and they track all over the place. Feed 'em to Harold.
