Description

Three very tiny Pallifera slugs of an unknown species were found in oak leaf litter near my back porch after a rain. They were brought inside and kept in a terrarium for a month or two. They laid eggs and nearly all of the eggs hatched into healthy sluglets, which were kept for a few weeks before being released into the leaf litter. The slug in the picture is one of the parents and the sluglets at the time the photo was taken were one week old.
