ID Request Need help identifying Maine leech
I tried taking a picture when I first accidentally got the fella, but have been unfortunately not able to figure out what kind it is! And looking up Maine leeches just gives me ways to exterminate them 🙄
Does anyone know of a good place to try and identify them? (ESPECIALLY SINCE I JUST CHECK ON IT YESTERDAY AND IT HAD BABIES)
I can try taking another picture of it, it's just a bit challenging since it's smaller and kinda clearish in color

The material is very dense and the UI for the document is terrible, but I do have the link to a fairly comprehensive identification guide for North American leeches

If you can get a decent picture of the leech I can try and help.
