@Starman77 told me he read where the "average suburban yard has 12,000 to 20,000 slugs". When I lived in Port Orchard, I'd sometimes salt slugs.Too many outdoor cats around here, so no song birds or quail anymore. I'm left with squirrels and these for photo opportunities, lol. Never seen slugs this big around here before. Leopard Slugs? I'm guessing it took them awhile to make the journey . . .
