Garden slugs

I was recently talking with some people about the feeding of garden slugs to monitors and turns out alot of the top keepers do this but will keep them a few days to ensure they haven't come into contact with any pesticides. I was wondering if the same would apply for chams aswell? Or wether it would be worth it if slugs aren't part of their natural diet in the wild?

I would be more worried about parasites, which they likely have.

I read somewhere those are loaded with parasites, but even if not so, I wouldn't use them as feeders, if, for no better reason, then they are gross!!

They didn't seem too worried about parasites but then again monitors bask from 140+ so maybe that could help them fight it off.

I don't bother about slugs, they're not as gross as cockroaches which I can now tolerate handling lol

Yes, but at least roaches aren't slimy!!
I would rather step on a roach barefoot then a slug!!
Just thinking about it turns my stomach

I regularly have slugs that populate my planted enclosures. My chams ignore them, and they eat up my plants. YMMV

Lmao suppose you couldn't slip on a cockroach

I've done a bit of reading up on the parasites and came to the conclusion that I wouldn't even touch them nevermind feed them off. I had only heard of lungworm but never knew where it came from, however small the chances are of getting it
