Interesting, was the slug actually responding to music, or were they playing the music in sync with the snail's movements?

That's funny! I wonder if someone was touching the back of the snail in time to the "move it"?

Great. Even slugs have better dance moves than me.

It looks as if the slug is responding to the sound vibrations moving through either the air, or through the glass/plastic that it is sitting on.
It seems to respond more to the deeper frequencies of the songs harmonics.
It could be a natural response to a perceived threat from the deeper resonance.
Or...the container could be tickling it's belly with the vibrations from the vocalizations.
A slug vibrator?

Seems to be three or four speculations in the above replies...Hmmmmm.
Favorites or a double standard?
Don't worry about the ban ...I am GONE.

Good Riddance! The last thing we need is a self-professed expert who paradoxically admits that they have no education in the fields they are an expert in.
As for the slugs;
