I was a bit worried about that, too.  I googled images just to see what 
they looked like as we have a lot of different types, but I've never 
seen them here.  I would not have to worry about food shortage for them, 
though.  I put out 5 trays of beer last night and counted over 100 slugs 
and snails in the trays this morning.  Mostly I caught slugs, but there 
were a few small snails that I had never seen before.  I did not catch 
any of the big snails or slugs.
Anyway, just wondering...thanks.
