Possible "old"(..?) SLUG from Virginia

Postby Dakota » Sun Nov 10, 2013 3:09 am

Okay, well yesterday was cleaning day in our household, and that I moved the extra 55 gallon cage outside, while I had no use for it. I then decided to just to move Maxx into it. I was getting it ready, making sure no bad foreign objects were in it, and while I was sifting through, I found this weird yellow thing.. it is kindly hard to describe it, but the only possible way;

It looks like an all-yellow big candycorn in a broken ball.. it was hard, but not hard.. kindly like a little bit harder version to wax?

My questions is, is this a slug? I'm not sure.. I don't think so, but my father wanted me to post it on the forum to ask.. so here it is:

(it came out really neon yellow in the photos, it is a good bright yellow, but not neon like you see here)

No, it has a hard wax feel to it.

Like the consistency of candycorn (I assume that is in Australia as well).

Lolly gobble bliss bombs are WAY different to candycorn richard, and considerably better ;D (Candycorns are those halloween candies that are little triangles with the white orange and reddy stripes)

No we dont have those in Aus (Or if we do it must be hidden real well as I have never seen it, nor have any friends ever eaten it and I eat way too much candy!)

Apologies for not having anything of real value to contribute to this thread :lol:

Have you fed egg? It looks suspiciously like an old dried up bit of cooked egg yolk. It looks very unlike any slug or expelled ova that I've seen out of a lizard.
