class Amphibia
habitat Mixed Hardwood Forestnotes Oddly, it was found exposed beside wet, moss-covered log during the day. Upon inspection, it appeared to be dead, tail was severely mangled and minor bite-lacerations could be seen about head and limbs. However, when picked up showed sign of life by weakly moving. Further examination revealed red rash on throat, and toes blood-red, possibly representing type of red-leg disease. Although located alive, the impression is that it will soon die. The attack upon the salamander inflicting the lacerations, may have been provoked by its weaken state and the actual cause of death due to disease. It was grayish above with small yellow speckles on sides; underside cream colored; measured SVL 70 mm (2¾ in.), TL 133 mm (5¼ in.). .photo category: Animal - Amphibian
