Not sure what kind of salamander this is?

Hi! I'm new here. I was out in my flower bed today when I come across this little guy under a rock. I've tried to identify him over the net and the closest I come to was a spotted salamander. He is just a baby. It confuses me because the spots are not well defined as I've seen in photos. Thanks in advance.

Wow I wasnt sure what kind of Salamander I had untill I took a look at one of those sights. Im from Oklahoma and we have the same type of Salamander, except I have three of them. I just found mine as well and am very confused on the feeding.

Sal, what confuses you about the feeding? What have you tried, or what do you have available?
