Btw I was told by my friend Jarron Lucas that if it was a barred tiger salamander that he would have to enter it into a database because that's the first one found there in a while or something

A. tigrinum is introduced to the wastewater treatment ponds in Tehachapi. Metamorphs emerge in numbers on rainy nights and are suddenly noticed by residents. The local newspaper ran an article on them a few years ago.

Tiger Salamanders are extremely variable in pattern. This one is also from Tehachapi and looks a lot different.
Re: Can someone identify this salamander?
Thank you! I found it at that one place , which by the sign that reads "waste water"(or something similar) probably means its a Waste water treatment pond haha. Are they common?
