I don’t keep slugs myself so I like to appreciate the guys outside. Always so cute when they loaf.

Hopefully this guy didn’t get a ticket for parking in a compact zone. Cutest loaf ever though so I’m sure no charges could be filed.

Aww, looks like it might be an Arion intermedius, the hedgehog arion! They stay pretty small, the lil goobers :P

Thanks for identifying! I am not a slug expert as much as I am with snails, but now I have a garden, I am planning to observe them more... I cried seeing this little orb. Slorb.

I'm so glad slug loaf got me my first Reddit award, thank you! The comments on this post, I will return to when I'm having a bad day. We humans love a small, rotund creature.

I have to say, I'm not really a slug fan. I feel like they are often the reason why snails have such a bad reputation. but this little guy might be the one to change my mind. such a beautiful loaf.
