Look at your snails again:
Arion subfuscus (Draparnaud, 1805) has a dark stripe down each side of its
body. The breathing pore is located anterior to the midline of the mantle.
Mucus quite orange.
Limacus flavus (Linne, 1758) has vague spots but no stripes, and the pore
is located in the south half of the mantle. Mucus more yellow.
I have not seen L. flavus in Ohio, but A. subfuscus is locally common.
