I have been caring for him as if he is a spotted, but I've seen some pics of Slimy Salamanders that look similar. Any help would be appreciated :happy:

Hi !
Nice pics.
The third one shows what seem nasolabial grooves.
So for me it's a Plethodontid.

Thanks so much, that’s what I’ve been starting to lean toward, as well. That means I still get to enjoy my buddy Nigel (the sally in question) whilst also seeing my first Spotted during the migration next spring.
