On Video. Yes but don´t let them get out or they will be hard to find and eventually die in your house. Feed them fresh lettuce wash it and give it to them with drops of water on it. Never ever give them anything salty or they will die. No salad dressing, nothing but fresh greens. I have kept slugs and snails as pets.....a large jar fishbowl with screen across the top or an aquarium work great and the can even be held an petted but make sure your hands are clean and not sweaty the salt and whatnot can burn their skin. They will often "nibble" at your skin and it feels much like a tiny tiny kitten tougue. This is because they are actually grating away dead skin with the rasp that they chew with, it is a bony plate with around 27.000 little teeth on it.
