God, I think I'm going to be sick...

The shed where I keep my bikes has a slug about 8cm long and 5 fat, and the thought of that thing getting squished is seriously making me queasy!

I'll retire from reading this thread for a while I think.

Obviously if you have a favourite slug you must look after it! Do not squash it!

My way of taking care of it is to stay as far from the fat f*ck as possible! I have a fear of both slugs and snails and every time I go into the shed I have to make sure he's not anywhere near the bikes. He seems happy enough splashing around in the drips from the overflow from downstairs cistern, so I'm not going to move him anywhere. Mind you, my newly improvised guttering to direct the water out of the shed might mean he goes adventuring elsewhere!

Christ, I loathe that slug...

+1, I hate the feckers, and my gardens full of them. I've learn't by bitter experience not to go out bare foot. That feeling of slug squishing between the toes is enough to make me throw up :shock: :evil: :?

I did that once, I took my bike shoes off by the front gate because I don't like walking in them - ruins the cleats and soles - and walked barefoot with the bike, round the side gate and up the back garden path in the dark to the shed and trod on a slug. I felt its cold guts oozing between my toes. I put the bike away and went inside to wash the slime off my feet and it was a real job! No matter how much soap I used I coudn't get rid of the slime for quite a while.

I hate them too, we actually get them invading the house! , they slither under the doors (apparently they can get through tiny gaps)

I've not had them inside but the bastards are making mincmeat of my rocket and tomato plants, along with their cousins the snails :twisted: :twisted:

God I'll be listening to gardeners question time next, when the feck did that happen :shock: :shock: :shock:

I once stepped on a suicidal snail that was on our back step while in my slippers. I screamed so loud that the neighbours came out thinking that there was a serious injury. Well, there was, but only to the newly homeless and fatally injured snail. I had to get my flatmate to MTFU and clean the bottom of my slippers despite her protestations.

Oh the joy of the forum, it takes us into many dark recesses, thankfully this isn't one of them

I actually have a giant African land snail as a pet, he's called Donald and is roughly a foot long when he fully stretches out.
