CB03 Gabby drinking from the end of the sprayer wand. Since she dis-likes me dragging her over to the water dish I gave this a try. She quietly sipped the water till she had enough. Tough to see the drinking action in this picture but she allowed me to put it right up to her mouth. I was the photographer too so the timing was not so perfect.

imagine what it would feel like getting nailed by one of those!!!! Kinda like two nails being punched into your skin??? Not to mention the rather unpleasant effects that the venom would have on you afterwards......
Awesome snakes tho....When I live in an area where it's legal to do so, I'll likely acquire a pair....For now I'll just stick to my native crotes.....
Talk about having to respect an animal! Ornamental slugs or not, those gabbys demand the utmost in respect!
