Possible Leopard Slug, Limax maximus

[pleb]

Could someone confirm that the slug in the photo is Limax maximus, Leopard Slug, please? Or correct me and tell me what it is. It was taking a stroll in the winter sunshine about 5 ft up the trunk of a moss covered tree close to the R Erme in sheltered woodlands, Ivybridge, S Devon. About 3 cm long. Thanks in advance.

On taking a closer look at it and the pictures on the web, it would seem much more likely that it is a Tree Slug - Lehmannia marginata. I should be very grateful if someone could give me an opinion. Thanks.

I had a look at this thread a couple of days ago and thought it didn't look right for leopard slug. I am far from being an expert on slugs and therefore cannot suggest an alternative. I am also surprised that no-one else has been on to help you out. Patience.........

I'm no expert, but this one does look like a tree slug Lehmannia marginata to me.
