I'd at least suggest they might be fungus gnat larvae. Let the soil dry

While this is always possible the poster mentioned slime trails such as
those left by slugs or snails. That is why whoever mentioned slugs did so.



Yes. The slime trails are definitive for slugs or snails.
Both only harm leaves, though and you should see chewed
leaves if there are enough to do damage.

And as far as the nematodes someone suggested go, I'm sure
they work, but it's easier to just not water as much. ;-)
