Unidentified salamander.

Bought this salamander from a wholesaler titled “ambystoma.” It’s a male so not a hybrid. He’s 7 inches, he’s got large greenish blue spots. Not a laterale and pretty sure he’s not a mabees salamander. Picture below.

I’m not sure what kind of salamander that is, but To Me it looks very thin and potentially unhealthy, which could lead to a difficult identification. I would have it taken to a vet.

It looks like a tiger salamander to me but in very poor conditions. I also believe taking him to a vet would be the best and smartest thing to do. Untill then make sure he has a moist enviroment and acces to clean water. If he poops I would keep it in a bag and then put it in the freezer in case the vet needs it for parasite control or something like that.

I hope that he gets well soon.

It looks like a tiger salamander but if you can find me a picture of any that look like this I’ll wait.
