Mississippi River Bottom SW IL.
I happened on a salamander early last fall after a cool rain.
not much yellow shown on upper
I've continued to check the area noting a few small road kills, also dark backed
With the warm wet winter, Feb first I chanced a look under a board
the most color I've seen (less than 10) I should have washed this one
Just a old man bragging like a kid.

Very cool! I enjoyed your photos.
I keep two tiger salamanders at home. My little brother found juveniles for sale at a local bait shop as "mud puppies." He bought two of them for me, and two for him. They make fun pets, very cool animals

They are vicious eaters, which makes them fun to watch. Mine used to jump up at the food before I could offer it to them. A couple times they got my finger, and they would not leg go.
