Why is this snail yellow? For me all snails are brownish.

fascinating, their yellow color makes them more interesting for me. Are they all yellow or just some individuals?

Most are yellow but they can be more tannish, white, or brown. Pacific banana slugs also often have black or dark brown spots (they look like overripe bananas) that can cover their entire body to make them black. Pacific banana slugs are usually less bright than California banana slugs too The yellow is likely warning colouration: their slime has an anesthetic that numbs the tongue.
