This slug thought he could make improvements to our garden with his voracious appetite. I found him while I was moving the smallest maple pot, and boy was he a surprise! Most have been 1-1.5 inches long, and I have never seen a slug so big unless it was a banana slug in Santa Cruz... jeez, I couldn't help but think it was sentient. This slug was possibly the original inspiration for this YouTube video. I couldn't handle the thought of squishing the 4-inch beast, so I tossed him over the fence into more fertile grounds. So long, Monster Slug, I hope you find whatever you're looking for in someone else's garden.
I was trying to take a photo of him next to the measurements on the trowel for proof, but he was moving so fast that all the pictures were blurry... a video is more interesting anyway.
Monster Slug is too cool for photography crispness!
It's a shame that I had to get rid of it... it's just the kind of crazy animal I would have kept as a pet if we weren't mortal enemies. Spots like that are too beautiful to ignore.
