Alright well I did it again and got an injured slug off the road. He’s a Carolina mantleslug and his name is Faceless Carrie because uh. His face is pretty messed up.
He doesn’t seem to have eyes or sensory tentacles but I think his radula is intact because I felt him nibble me when I was walking home. I know slugs and snails can regenerate their eyestalks but I don’t know if he’ll live long enough for that. I assume he was stepped on or attacked by a bird.
I’m not really expecting him to survive but I’d rather he live out his remaining time in a safe, moist place than dry up on the side of the road.
