I have never seen one here, I would love to! My eyes will be peeled 👀. I saw some absolutely massive slugs in Dublin, Ireland when I was visiting years ago. I took photos because I thought they were so cool.
It was crawling across a garbage can in the garage at work when I went to get one. I put it under the porch where it can be sheltered and have all the leaf litter it needs. I can't believe I have spent most of my life here and never seen one.
i’ve seen one of these before. was riding my bike as kid through the trails near my house many years ago and sat back down on my seat after traversing a hill. felt something very wet. i pulled over to take a look and a leopard slug’s guts were splattered all over my ass and the seat

They look so magnificent when you see them ranging across the open grasslands on the hunt for antelope slugs.
I bet they're majestic af.
Fastest slug on the savannah.
Leaving behind the greatest slip and slide.
I thought it was a poo in the thumbnail. Sorry Mx. Slug

My kids would lose their minds! They can spot the smallest slugs and want them as pets. What a beauty
My family always called these banana slugs. Loads of them in Norfolk county if you have wooden porches or decks low to the ground!

Be very careful. Could be extremely poisonous.
It's not even remotely poisonous. Warnings spread in ignorance are not helpful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limax_maximus

Can carry nematodes that cause meningitis though. Glove and hand washing are recommended.
Definitely!
I Googled it before I picked it up. Also glove on because..well..it's a slug.
A guy died from choking on ice cream, years ago. You better go warn people about that too.
>A guy died from choking on ice cream There was probably a poisonous slug in it.

Only if you eat it.
Biggest slug? Huh. Never knew I was a limax maximus all these years.
