Biggest one I've seen, last week up in Portland while on the Jordan Woods Natural Area trail. That's my size-12 shoe for perspective.

What happens when you lick it? I don't want to wake up two days later in Mexico.

Nice! I found this beauty earlier this year in the Figueroa Mtn area, Santa Barbara. This was the first time I had ever seen a banana slug.
