Re: What kind of encinitas is this?
I´d say genus Aneides, but can´t help you on the species.
Have you checked if it´s legal in your state to catch wild salamanders?

Re: What kind of encinitas is this?
Thanks for the reply. I thought it was an Encinitas due to the slight constriction at the base of the tail, but i suppose it could be an Aneides. I have checked and it is fine to collect salamanders (not all but quite a few) So long as you have a fishing license and stay within bag limits.

Ensatina eschscholtzii eschscholtzii - Monterey Ensatina
Californiaherps.com is a nice site to check with range maps for the different forms. You can see what is found in the region that you caught it. The one that I linked has a possible leucistic from San Bernardino County

Re: What kind of encinitas is this?
the actual picture on california herps is of the same animal. those were taken right after we found it. I was out with Brian Hinds. We also found a nice arboreal salamander.

Ensatina for sure, probably the nominate form. I have seen hybrids though from around Palomar that were similar.

It is probably albino. Ensatina eyes are dark so it is hard to see them so if it has reddish eyes it is albino. Could even be a young albino arboreal salamander or black salamander because juveniles look like ensatinas. Its hard to tell what ensatina it is because its albino. Looks like oregonensis.
