I was thinking that i've never took pictures of my P.glutinosus , mostly because they are extremly shy but today i was able to take a couple of decent shots.
They were 3 originally but one has died apparently without any reason , maybe because they were exposed to hot temperature ( one month at 23 - 26 degree) this summer.
I know , it's quite hard to make them breed but i hope so much that they are a pair.
now the pics i want to share

I´m no expert in plethodontids, far from it, but i would say that second animal is not P.glutinosus.
 
I agree with Azhael on that second one. It looks like P. metcalfi or P. montanus (without locality info you won't know which species).
 
Where i've buyed the trio , they were labeled as Plethodon glutinosus complex
The animals in the table were all different to each other in term of pattern and quantity of white spots, but i saw no remarkable difference in body proportion structure ect , so i was assuming they were all P.glutinosus with a great difference in color and pattern...i was wrong:(
The one that died was almost identical to the animal in the second pic except from having a small quantity of very tiny little white spots so maybe he was a P. glutinosus
Well , now i can forget completely to breed this animals:nono:
Anyway thanks for the help in the identification
 
I wouldn't forget completely. In the southern appalachians things seem to interbreed frequently (where Plethodon metcalfi/ montanus and glutinosis spp. are).

Good luck!
