Default ID this ugly thing.
What kind of snail is this?

He's a hitchhiker. Never seen 'em before, just appeared on the glass this evening. Ugly little bastard, too.

One of my favorite snails..seriously I've only lost a couple in years. They hide under rocks and stuff and come out when the lights are out at night.
