Does anybody know what this is? Is it a slug? Is it safe to feed to my box turtle?
What is this?

A cartoon character worm of course....I vote to cut him a break, I mean look at him--you can tell where the front is and all.....
He is either going into the box turtle enclosure or outside to freeze his little invertebrate butt off. I just found him in my dogs water dish and almost threw up.
name his Tyrone and keep him as a pet
&$@% NO!!name his Tyrone and keep him as a pet
why not! you can feed him lettuce and get him a little chair to sit in.
*a hush covers the crowd and then a BOOOO* ....* the crowd then begins to chant "equal rights for cartoon worms---free Henry"!!!!!!!
omg this made me laugh!*a hush covers the crowd and then a BOOOO* ....* the crowd then begins to chant "equal rights for cartoon worms---free Henry"!!!!!!!
I put him in with my Boxturtle. She might find him tomorrow who knows. Or he could live a long time in there who knows. nature will take it's course
I refuse to feel guilty for feeding my Boxturtle. Good try guys. if that slug was outdoors right now he would be frozen solid. At least he is warm, for now. I just wonder how he got in here, maybe he hitched a ride on the dog. A praying mantis is the only bug that gets a free ride out of my house.

Yes its a slug and box turtles love then. I feed them to mine regularly, just make sure they have access to water after one or 3 slugs....
Yum... that's real juicy... I've never fed a slug, but apparently worms are really hard to get down (it's disgusting to watch) but that's because they're still wriggling...
Does the slime do something to their throats, I'm imagining?
I'm wondering how you could have stood to have it actually on your skin? E-w-w-w-w-w! I hate those things.

Slugs are good box turtle food. Mine will eat them off a spoon, although it took them a while to trust me enough to do that. You're likely to find the slug under the water dish if it wasn't eaten.
