The slugs are laying eggs all over the place right now. But the slug I found was very fat. Upon further inspection, she was full of eggs. Whistling

Do you have a link to where you found the photo Shaw? It would be easy to see if it is copyrighted. Thumbs up

Thank you very much.
Sorry I keep forgetting that many ppl (people) don't know computer lingo shortcuts.
I sometimes type and don't reread, that's what gets me into trouble when I post.
I'm such a goofball. *Blush*

I've been finding slugs all over the lawn in the mornings. I think I better sprinkle more Sluggo around the plants, it's been almost a month since I put it out last time.

This conversation was started on another forum,on the ice plant thread.I started it there because i read that delosperma is a favorite food of these ugly,slimy little creature's.I didn't know there was already this thread dedicated to the little nasty things!!

Okay so snails are never homeless like slugs? their eye's are on the tips of their horns,which they can retracted 1 at a time, it was so nasty watching this.
I need to do some research on how they get their homes!! Confused do they make them,snail shells look alike or are they squatters living in any abandoned home???

What's the difference in snails & slugs except for fishing purposes i have no idea.I see a lot of research in my immediate future, where do they feed above or below ground?That's the difference in eating foliage or roots.

Could one have done this:

Jelinda, that does look like slug damage. Time to get the Child/Pet safe form of slug bait out there.
Slugs feed above ground, don't usually bother with roots.
Here is some helpful information on snails, and a little on slugs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...

Nice photos you posted. Thumbs up
