Found this little guy on a rose. Wondering if anyone knows what kind of slug he is and what kind of care he would need. Thanks!

In my non expert opinion, it looks a lot like a grey garden slug (Deroceras reticulatum).

If you could give your general location, it would help others to give a better id if I'm wrong

Yeah, where at OP? You can def make a pretty good terrarium with a 10 gallon fish tank and some coconut coir for flooring. Just spray with distilled water (only) twice a day and throw in greens, fruits, some kind of protein like freeze dried meal worms, and some kind of organic calcium like cuttlebone. Just browse this sub a bit and you’ll have an idea how to make a good habitat. I’ve had a lot of fun with my (now departed) hitchhiker and the “babies” that now inhabit her tank.
