Large yellow slugs most likely Elisolimax c.f. flavescens, they are found in Tanzania, and perhaps other African countries, my largest African Banana Slug is around 15cm when fully extended, they readily take cucumber, but ignore many other fruits and vegetables,

They lay very large batches of sometimes more than one hundred eggs. The eggs take around 15 days to hatch, the young slugs grow fairly slowly.
