I confirmed with a herpetologist that caught it, and both are indeed A. tigrinum caught well north of the A. mexicanum range. I will make another spotting for the paedomorphic form.

The first photo is a Axolotl / Ambystoma mexicanum and the second photo you are correct, is a Ambystoma tigrinum a salamander , they are different species please delete one of this page and add it to a new page.
