Hi there,

Without seeing a picture, it sounds like similiar slugs my mother in 
law found in her garden, starting about 5 years ago. ( Although it 
might not be, it gives you a starting point? )  She lives in Lower 
Sackville.

She took it to Atlantic Gardens and they thought it was a "banana 
slug". They travelled into Canada through produce that was most 
likely sold through Sobey's and Superstore.

If this one of those slugs, I'm not sure how it travelled to Brier 
Island! Did it swim, or take the ferry?
