ID for tiny slug found in SF Bay Area
We found what looks like a baby slug beginning to dry up in our entry way after some recent storms. We put it in a terrarium (daughter has been really wanting a pet slug and we figured it was about to dry up so it wouldn’t hurt to keep it and take care of it.)
We are in the East Bay hills near Tilden in the SF Bay Area. Any idea what kind of slug this is? For size reference, it is pictured with an arugula leaf it seems to have grown since we found it about a week ago, so I am thinking it’s a baby. That said, I was wondering if it could possibly be a mature form of a smaller species? I know very little about slugs but we are doing our best to take care of it by keeping its habitat moist with distilled water and giving it greens to eat. Thanks in advance!
