Is you snake teething?? If thats the case......
I would only suggest feeding your snake a raw baby carrot if it's a hatchling but you might have to tie a string to the carrot and hang if from up above to prevent premature consumption. With the older snakes, after they start chewing just hold one end of carrot and one end of snake until teathing process ends.

This should be a sticky :eek1: :wavey:
 
The hell with the carrot, now I got the urge to lick a slug! *LOL*

Regards.. T of T and J.. I don't think Jenn would lick the slug BTW..
 
I think that Rich should just shut off all user accounts and this site should be turned into a big FAQ, because that's what it's all about.

Oh, wait, no it isn't.

I don't get why there are so many "question nazis" around here who lose their minds if a question that has been asked before is being asked again. (Oh, the abject horror of it all.) Believe it or not, some people who come here want to have a conversation instead of reading a FAQ, and that's why they signed up for a user account.

Well, if that's your taste,
First proceed outside in the early morning and look at the foundation of your house to spot a few. Be prepair to sit down after the licking process. Dizziness will sometimes accrue.

:-offtopic Tsk, tsk, tsk. Everyone knows slugs are gastropods! :crazy02:

Mollusks are creatures like clams, mussles, squid and octopi!
 
Ok, Ok, I really just wanted to say gastropods, but yes yes, I guess they're all mollusks, but stomach foot! C'MON!

STOMACH FOOT!

Why slugs are just snakes with no scales!
 
Actually it IS first hand experience LOL. My Grandpa has a PhD in entimology and while visiting my Uncle in BC he (Grandpa) picked up a banana slug (these look like a piece of dog poo =P) and got us to lick its belly hehe. Made my whole face go numb! My new moto shall be "Have you licked a slug today?" hehe
 
Weird...

Well, I've just come from Animal Behavior class and my professor says slugs are part of a perfectly natural diet for snakes. GARTER snakes.
It was weird that right after this thread he lectured on this topic in class today.


:-offtopic For those interested (not many probably)...Basically inland garters in California eat mostly frogs and fish. Recently (geologically speaking) garters have moved towards the coast. Coastal garters show a preference for banana slugs over frogs and fish, which aren't widely available in coastal habitats. This preference has been shown to have a genetic basis rather than environmental. Tah-dah!
 
Just because something is there natural diet in the wild.....
I have a garter and would never give him something out of the yard full of parasites, toxins, pesticides, etc...
He's eaten fish and worms before, but now I give him pinkies - nice and clean.
