Second one ever seen by me in New London County! Very rare here
This salamander is the “red-backed” color phase of this species. It was found under the same flat rock as the previous one I posted today, which has the all gray “lead-backed” color pattern. In my yard, both color phases are found, with the red-backed form more common.
