Thank you Alice, I already changed it. I never saw it too, only on TV documentaries. I think the slug can be a juvenile leopard slug, they are omnivorous, and the slug's size is small, mature leopard slugs are very large.

Oh My! I have never seen that! Change your title to Slug eating snail, more might stop and look!

Actually, Livan, the shell was medium beige. The shining is effect of the light. I don't know their species, sorry.

Wow. Do you know what kind of snail that is. The shell looks gold!
