You're welcome! I'd be interested in knowing if their efforts produce any offspring. I'm not aware of anybody successfully captive-breeding them, though it may be common. I've never seen the banana-yellow form, though we get the olive with brown speckles and the honey-brown ones up here in Oregon.

Hi Peter! Thanks for the information about the banana Slugs! The researchers are able to make it happen now, and the yellow guys are doing great!
Thanks for that info! I already have a degree in Anthropology, but I've been tossing around the idea of going back to school for a degree in Environmental Studies. If that would get me an awesome job like yours, it would be worth it!

Thank you! I love my job! To get into the field, any degree in Environmental Sciences is a great plus. After, or during that process hopefully, apply for seasonal positions as an Interpreter (Interpreting the natural and cultural resources to the public, not language), or apply as a Naturalist. This can be at any park, or stat or federal system. Once your IN, then you have access to many opportunities! Good luck!
You are so lucky to have that job!! Environmental Education is one field I'd really like to get into. What sort of educational background did you have to have in order to land a job as a Teaching Naturalist?
