Slimeless Slugs, Part One

One of the dangers of selling one's wares at craft shows, is that one spends all day surrounded by amazing crafts. It was on one such day that I ended up adopting Simon.

Simon is a banana slug, and though his relatives can grow up to 10 inches, Simon's just a little guy.

Simon eats decaying matter, spreads seeds and spores, and deposits fertilizer wherever he goes. He was a little bit chilly during the craft show, so I crocheted him a scarf (my first attempt was way too big!) He likes it so much, he wears it all the time now.

This little slugger spends most of his time in a snifter. It's just the right size for Simon, and he feels safe in it (he's terrified of beetles), even though I assure him that nothing will eat him in my house.
