Hi there, here (in Germany) it is not, actually it is pretty frequent, very (!) large, sometimes more than 20 cm, and rather variable concerning the colour - I have found completely light grey ("ghost") specimens until jet black specimens with the white stripe on the back keel. Picture: Robert Nordsieck.Very pretty slug, though, and I think, much less aggressive than Limax maximus. > Limax cinereoniger. Kind regards Rob

Do you often find them to be as huge as 8 inches around where you live? I'm just thinking that if they grow as large a that - well it's amazing, I've certainly never come across any slug as large as the Limax cinereonger. I sometimes see four inch slugs.... not quite so impressive

I sometimes find what I think are juveniles, around 5-6cm or so, though I havent seen any adult sized ones.

Hi there, I have displayed a picture on my gallery. It shows a Limax cinereoniger, as compared to a 2-Euro-coin. > Wie lang wird ein Limax cinereoniger?! (= How long does a Limax cinereoniger get?). But I also encountered a Limax cinereoniger specimen here in Westerwald mountains, that surely had more than 15 cm length (did not measure him, though) and it was as black as hell. The specimens on my Limax cinereoniger page were all of mediocre length. Kind regards Robert

I hope you will, otherwise I'll send you pictures, as soon as I see a giant Limax cin-nig and have my bloody camera with me...
