Eurycea longicauda
Salamander, orange with black spots
Rocks, moist dirt, moss
Found it while resetting stone steps. Rinsed it off and gave it a new home elsewhere.
Definitely not a red eft. They have much rougher skin than the pictured animal, and they also have shorter tails and a single row of spots down each side; the spots also have red centers.
