Want to keep a slug, maximum 20 liters aquarium tank enclosure so not that big, legal where I live in (Madrid, Spain) and reasonably easy to care for

From googling I thought it may be smelling the air or something. But on closer inspection looks like some hair-like things may be coming out the back of it? This was at 6am near Bristol UK. It was like this for at least 40 minutes!

Probably very stressful event for these little guys, but they do have a speed boost mode just for cases like that.

Love leopard colors, wondering how big he could grow on oat-slug-cucumber diet 👀

Doing handstands on my lawn and I keep saying these tiny weird red blobs ARE THEY BABY SLUGS. I just saw a full grown one in my lawn how tf did they get there help omg ew the red ones are littered throughout the grass and don’t move when I touch them

That’s a big boi

Hanging out with some slugs I found and right one is significantly differently colored. Only ever seen grey feild slugs(?) before (left). It moves slower and feels different too. Still cute!

In Wisconsin.

It’s just curled up, only one in there.

So I was hanging out w my friends and saw this guy chilling on moss, it was looking amazing tbh !

Hello! I’m a big fan of random insect keeping, or I guess in this case gastropod keeping, so I found a slug that was struggling in the middle of a parking area and took it home with me. I also named it Robbie! I attached pictures of Robbie if anyone cares to help me identify his type.

I was hoping to get some slug-keeping tips since googling it isn’t as reliable as I was hoping. What type of enclosure should I get? I currently have him in a mason jar with holes in the cap since I had that conveniently. I put some soil at the bottom and added leaves as well. I know they need to be kept moist so I spray Robbie like every hour. I also read that they need to be fed regularly so I currently have a small plum slice inside that he’s munching on, and will take it out tomorrow to prevent decay.

Thank you guys in advance for the advice, I hope to give Robbie a nice, happy life!

I was playing with the idea of what happens when slugs and salt collide. This guy doesn't know what he is messing with.
