    I mostly see the grey ones. recently there was a solid black one truckin along. Is it safe for you to feed your animals the slugs you find outside? I'm asking because of all the pesticides that people may have sprayed or w/e

    They're a fine food source, provided the frog will eat them. It's a messy proposition.

    To keep slugs get an empty 10gallon tank. Put some dirt in there. A SHALLOW water dish(less than an inch deep) Put some decor in there and keep the tank moist constantly. It should be damp. Around 80% of humidity. They dont need any heat source. Food should be veggies. Theres a site called cybersnail. They show you how to keep em.
