Yogurt tubs could work in lieu of margerine size tube..just a thought. Here is a lovely banana slug picture that I found on the internet for all of you dying to see a picture of these creatures. I was deathly afraid of the very slow moving creatures when I was at summer camp in CA back in the 60's. In fact I was kicking and screaming one afternoon on a hike down to the creek. (known habitat of the yellow monsters) To get down all the way to the creek we had to crawl under a barbed wire fence. I just threw a fit and got my leg caught up in the barbed wire and slashed a nice gash in my shin. I was bleeding so bad everyone had to crawl back up under the fence and we went back to the base camp. My Mom had to come get me from the camp and I refused to ever go back. Had to get a tetnus shot too. I do not have very fond memeories of these ugly yellow slimy things. I about freaked when I saw one at the Oregon Garden during one of my many visits.
