Laura was just kind enough to send me a photo of the slug she saw on Brier
Island. I'm as sure as it's possible to be from looking at a photo that this
is Limax maximus, the non-native leopard slug. It is definitely not a banana
slug.
The spots on a banana slug, if it has spots at all, are few, large, and
distributed in no particular pattern. (They resemble the spots on a dog.) In
contrast, the spots on a leopard slug are relatively small and are arranged
so that they cover the entire mantle and are arrayed in stripes on the foot.
