In english its called leopard slug ,in spanish babosa leopardo.This slug can grow to about 20cm in lenght.In the day you can find it resting in damp places like under stones,logs.This slug is a night feeder feeding on plant as well as other slugs,it normally stays close to its hidding place.Mating behavior is a little strange they do this hanging from a branche or something else.They both produce eggs because they are both female and male(hermaphrodite)After a month the eggs hatch and then it takes about two years to reach maturity.Limax maximus lives normally about 3 years
