Is that something you caught? can you give us a hint- the state, the environment (forest, stream, etc)?
 
Looks to be either Ensatina eschscholtzii eschscholtzii or Ensatina eschscholtzii oregonensis.
 
Yeah more information is needed. Here are choices:

Plethodon
Ambystomatidae - But the eyes on it throw me of thinking it's one of these.
Aneides
 
Definitely Ensatina. The head shape and the girth of the tail gives it away. Not sure exactly what species.
 
I dont know. A friend caught it and gave it to me. He said he found them under some leaves by a stream. I released them the next day after taking some pics. I thought it was an Ensatina. I never knew though. Just wanted to know what opportunity i bypassed.
Thanks for the help!
 
Definitely an Ensatina. Easily seem from the head and eye shape.
Justin said it all...
 
It was the tail that I couldn't figure out. But I think I was somewhat close with Plethodon.

Are you keeping it Frogman?
 
It's the tail which makes it a dead giveaway as Ensatina. The constricted base is characteristic.
 
Wow, That's so cutiee.Don't have any idea about this species. But seems interesting:confused:

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
