Gross lol , are those from your yard ?
They are gross. The ones I used(killed them)to have were more whitish brown and so slimy, yuck
Can the boxies sense them in the ground and dig for them?
Hope they enjoy your hard work.

Jojo maybe I'm crazy but I thought u said you saw someone spraying chemicals on the lawn at ur house ? Is that where the snails came from ?
well if they were sprayed with poison but not enough to kill em purging might not do it.
i wish my turts like snails and slugs they dont... watch out they WILL climb up the side over and out! the last and i mean LAST time i tried slugs in the house i steped on one in the middle of the night slithering accross the floor EEW i though maybe my dog pooped in the floor i was so grossed out! lol

Pio would kill for one of those. She loves them and spends half the Summer searching her garden for them. That would be like a box of candy for my Box Turtles. They love them too.
I used to live in an apartment in Vallejo Ca, and couldn't go out on the back patio at night..the concrete pad would be covered in them..and they would climb all over the glass sliding door...the next morning I would have slimy trails all over the glass door.,.they climbed all over my dogs water dish, until i moved it inside....i never fed slugs to Ninja before..this will be her first time...but my rescues used to get snails I was told...
Great!
The store my mom shops at sells live snails , I was considering getting some for my little guys. I figure if they are sold for humans to eat, then my babies can eat them !

They look yummy (for a turtle), but I agree with this comment. I don't really believe in purging. Once poisoned, always poisoned. They're probably going to have that stuff in their tissues for life. I wouldn't feed them to a box turtle.
I don't think you can really purge them, from what I understand you catch them and then wait 3 or 4 days if they are still alive then they should be poison free, as in never been sprayed, but I can't guarantee it 100 %
my wife has quite a few hostas in our yard during summer after a rain
I go out with a flashlight and pick them off the hostas, the slugs love
them and you end up with holes in the hosta leaves. Hosta growers
use what is called slug bait and I have read up on it and after reading
about it I would never use it, my small water turtles gobble them up
it I have not fed them to my box turtles yet, those slugs are pretty
slimy.
