Default ID new creature

Hello, this guy just appeared out of nowhere. Looks to be a slug or snail. Good, bad? It seems to be getting a shell on it's back or is very tough leathery body. At least that is what it felt like. It has two long "feelers" on it's head. Let me know.

Hard to tell from the picture, but your description makes me think Stomatella snail.

I had to use the flash, seems he only comes out after the lights are off. He was on the back wall also.

If it is a Stomatella you are lucky, they are a good addition to your clean up crew.
