Veronicella sloanei, "pancake slug."

[grius]

Hi.

I wonder if this is good food to offer my Tiger salamanders?Veronicella sloanei, "pankake slug", i have a friend who breed this species and because my tigers dont like the worms i buy from sport fish shops i thought this might be a good idea instedd. I shall also try to get my hands on earthworms and see it that workes for them.

Regards
Tomas

Being a caudate forum, it´s no surprise that noone appears to have knowledge about that species of tropical slug.
No one can risk saying "yes, go ahead, use them" without knowing if the species is toxic in anyway.
Maybe your friend knows. If they aren´t toxic, then home-cultured slugs are a great fodder.

I hade other thoughts about that hehe, of curse no one can say something if they dont know about the species. Unfortunally he dont have clue, but i will try to find a answer, . otherwise i will try to find banana slug and breed.

Thanks for you answer.

Regards.

If they are easy to culture and prolific, it may be worth trying to find a forum that discusses invertebrates and see what the experts in the area know (yes, there are slug experts xD).
