Blotched Tiger Salamander

Your best bet is to look fir LisaPowers to be online and ask her! Or possibly JeffreyDuby can help too

I don't have any better photos. When I found it, I semi-keyed it out to the Tiger. However, I was hoping someone on here would be able to confirm it for me.

Well that makes it more difficult! At least we know it's an Ambystoma sp., but I'm not sure this picture alone would be able to differentiate them. Do you have any other angles?

Thanks for the quick suggestion. I didn't post the exact locale, just general region. It was just on the edge of the range of The Long-Toed Salamander as well.

Well it has to be a Tiger Salamander, it is the only salamander in that part of the state. And based on my field guide, the blotched subspecies is the only one in that area. So just the range narrows it down to blotched tiger salamander. Adorable little guy :)
