Does anyone know where I can find live slugs for feeders? If a place sells Agriolimax reticulatus, that would be great. I really don't want to have to find some from the wild because of risk of pesticides and, frankly, I've never seen a slug here in my life.
Also, do you think bearded dragons and leopard geckos could eat slugs?
On further research, Deroceras reticulatum would also work.

I sell slugs to people for all sorts of reasons. Some use them as live bait for fishing and others for feeding purposes. They do have a heavy slime so they need to be handled while wearing disposable gloves otherwise it takes serious hand washing. They also carry diseases that can make us ill so I definitely take the gloved route
