I had taken apart those giant yellow slugs.

Yellow slugs, like the majority of other land slugs, use two pairs of tentacles on their heads to sense their environment.

Yellow Slugs are sometimes preyed upon by raccoons, geese, ducks, garter snakes, salamanders, moles, and shrews.

As far as the subway was concerned, a dime was worthless and a tiny yellow slug called a token became the coin of the new 15-cent realm.

The yellow slug is common in Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland as well as most of southern and western Europe.

Limax flavus, synonym Limacus flavus, sometimes called the Yellow slug, is a medium to large species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Limacidae.

Like all slugs, the yellow slug moves relatively slowly, gliding along using a series of muscular contractions on the underside of its foot, which is lubricated with mucus, such that it leaves a slime trail behind it.

A favorite one was to shell corn, put half of it in a burlap bag, wet it thoroughly for a few days--until it started sprouting--and meanwhile grind the other half into meal and boil that with a minimum of water until all that was left was a moist, yellow slug.
