I believe this is a leech.
Found on hedges.
This guy is about 3 - 3.5 inches long when he's stretched out.

I've moved this slug from the Arthropod category to the Other category for you. Snails and slugs are Mollusks. Arthropods have an exoskeleton and jointed limbs in at least one phase of their life. Think dragonfly, bee, crab, and ant.
Thanks so much Brycegarling! And that's good to know about the eye stalks. The ribbing on the underside is what made me think it was a leech.
