Default Barbados pancake slugs

Need to get up to date with my postings on here, got a few recent arrivals, i've now ventured into molluscs with these cute lil fella's.
Wont be getting anymore molluscs, lets be honest the majority in culture are pretty bland lol





As they get older they should develop some very nice mottoled coffee and cream colouration aswell as develope a more broader and flatter shape.

I got them from a member named Claer_eline from BN, £2.50 each.
Their care is near enough like african land snails so they pretty much eat any fruit and veg

The one thing that makes my skin crawl is slugs, but these lil guys are qute. I always fancied getting some banana slugs (maybe its just our horrid coloured ones I carnt stand the thought of near me) but they are like rocking horse droppings (very rare), well I never seen any for sale.
