A gooey visitor to our basement!

As I was walking around the basement taking care of our two bunnies and the pair of ferrets we are petsitting, I came across this HUGE slug slowly making it's way across the floor. It was thicker than my thumb and stretched out, maybe 7 or 8 inches. Those antennea just fascinate me...though I think their eyes are at the ends...so don't touch them...it probably hurts them!

The floor is quite dry, so I had him crawl onto a piece of shiny newspaper and took him outside. I think he/she was much happier in the damp grass! :)
