It's certainly tough to get photos of a wet animal in a dark cave! Body shape looks to be the genus Plethodon, not sure which ones are in range though

Thanks for taking a look at it for me! I really appreciate it. I will definitely try to get a better picture if ever I am in a position to again!

Yes it's a salamander that is missing its tail, but from these photos I can't tell what species it is
