I would love to see the snails you have over there! Hoooorrrnnnsss???????!! WTH??
Cool!
I always thought a slug was just a snail without its shell???
But I am no snail/slug expert...
I need pictures when you get a chance! ?
I will this summer. I'm not an expert either. But one type here has horns no shell and has dark colors. If I can catch a pic of the other I will. That's the type I always thought of as slugs. I'm trying to be nice here about what they look like ?I would love to see the snails you have over there! Hoooorrrnnnsss???????!! WTH??

Very good idea to let the boards shrink. Used to be you spaced the deck boards using a 16D nail or comparable. When they took the formaldehyde out of the treated lumber. It started to shrink. I learned that the hard way and had to remove the deck boards and screw them down again.Out working on our deck......the final fastening of deck screws. We cut & placed all the pressure treated blanks last Autumn, but left loose to dry before fastening. So, thats on our plate today...
Not a bad day, but the winds!
➡ 12:05p: Nice and mild across the DMV at noontime, with plenty of sun and temps in the upper 50s to near 60. Winds are breezy though, gusting 20-30 mph. Could see some gusts of 30-40 mph this afternoon with highs ~60-65.

Here is a couple of the shells I collected 18 (give or take) years ago. They looked pretty fresh and new back thenI will this summer. I'm not an expert either. But one type here has horns no shell and has dark colors. If I can catch a pic of the other I will. That's the type I always thought of as slugs.

Yes, I too would like to see pix of “clear slugs like jelly fish”. Almost everything we have here are slugs - large, small, slimy. Lift up a flower pot or an old piece of wood...bam, a big old fat slug.
Are you giving/providing any calcium? An egg shell now & then?

I mentioned this before, but while living in Defiance Ohio. Everytime it rained hard. These huge slugs would be on the side walks and driveways. They were like 4 or 5 inches long and thick. I was amazed!Really?
I have never seen a slug or snail in anyone’s back or for that matter front yard here??
I must not be looking hard enough.
I DO however see lots of those darn water bugs. Grey, Squirmy, annoying little things and loads of ANTS!! Butt loads of em’ !

That is way too cute, and the smile says it all!!Yes Lola definitely likes his creature comforts. Not long after I had him I was sorting out my shed and threw down an old pillow I used for kneeling on when working in the garden; when I came out of the
shed this is where I found him. ?
