What kind of salamander did I stumble across here ? I know its an ambystoma and it is in a tank with tigers but instead of being yellow like a tiger its silvery and was labeled a Texas barred salamander

Could be a blotched tiger, could be a "ugly" barred, could be a eastern tiger, could be a blotched/barred hybrid. Probably a hybrid. Texas is crawling with hybrids since they love to use them as Largemouth bass bait down there.

Most likely a Blotched Tiger Salamander/Ambystoma m. melanostictum. Looks kind of thin to me. They're all being kept aquatic, wonder how well that goes.

I said the same to the store owner, he replied that he had built them a platform but they had kept to the water ...... Would rather see them in a 50/50 setup but they do look recently morphed for as skinny as they are.
