Keep them cool, whatever you do. Success stories speak of keeping them in a wine cooler. I tried ignoring strict temps with them and failed miserably. Environmental requirements remind me of when I see native slugs out and about. Without reasonable moisture levels(think misty morning) and cool temps(below 60F) my impression is that these will suffer.

Oh the pain... I had one maybe a year ago but it died pretty soon.
I kept it like every bit of info I found told, in 16-17c and damp with plenty of places to hide in/under.

Still hurts loosing it.. Oh and studying her corpse I saw it in fact was a she and most propably gravid:cry:

But anyway.. Good luck with yours. They are amazing creatures.
