I have a 5 of these little guys here, some of them are inside and 2 outside. I wanted to see what kind of differences there might be between living indoor or outdoor. they are all very good eaters, and are doing great. I cant seem to tell exactly what they are.
If there are any featuresthat would differentiate a long toe larvae from a northwestern larvae it would be a great help.
Thanks.
 
I will be posting some pics soon, I have just had a little trouble geting nice clear pictures with my camera. Could be a lighting issue.
 
I am positive these little guys i found are Long-toed salamanders now, although 2 of them dissapeared over the last couple days. They were the smaller ones and despite being well fed i think the 2 left made some midnight snacks of the little guys. I was not too happy about that, but on the bright side the other 2 are going through metamorphosis and the stripes on their backs are slowly becoming visible.

I am going to try getting some photos once again, my camera will not focus on anything.

It looks like they have a stripe down the back, if they do they're long-toed
