I found round, flat yellowish things in my leopard slug enclosure. They look nothing like any slug eggs I’ve seen and they’re all over, does anyone know what they are?

Those are slug eggs.

(Also, this should be in the 'other inverts' forum because this one's for vertebrates)

Maybe they look different than you've seen because they're infertile? I don't know that much about slugs, so I don't know if they can produce viable eggs without mating, but from the small bit of research I've done, I agree that they look different from eggs that actually develop into baby slugs.

That’s what I was thinking… I think I’ll keep them outside and watch to see if they hatch or anything.
