Descripción

At around 15:20, found under 40cm long log to left of paved road. The log was located about .5m from the paved path. The individual had a SVL of approximate 2cm. Conditions were overcast with 100% cloud cover with the temperature about 57 F. It felt cold when I picked it up and secreted a small amount of slime from its skin onto my hand as I held it. The area surrounding where I found it was a very dense juniper/oak woodland. When I flipped the log over, the salamander did not attempt to flee or move much, which could be explained by its cold body temperature. It was identifiable by its smooth, slimy, black body that is speckled with white dots and large eyes.
